Near Finish of
New Buildings
The Science and Learning Center
on back campus is proceeding well
on schedule and should be finished
by the tentative deadline of Aug.
10. Besides the nearly finished ex-teriors,
work is well along on the
interiors.
In the lecture hall-auditorium,
the plastering is completed and
nearly all the lights have been in-stalled
with the lone exception be-ing
the stage lights. That section
of the complex will be finished by
late May and will possibly be open
for inspection, although it will not
be used until the entire building
is finished.
In the Science-Learning Tower,
a model classroom is being finished
ahead of schedule for showing and
will be available in late April or
early May. Lathing has been
started on the ground floor of the
Tower, and the elevators will be
operating within a week.
Upon completion in August, the
process of furnishing the building
will begin, although some chemis-try
laboratory furniture will be in-stalled
in late May. Bids for other
equipment, such as for the lan-guage
laboratories, are now open
and decisions should be reached
soon.
The Science-Learning Tower has
received a citation for "Total Effi-ciency
Design" from Contemporary
Design, a trade publication for ar-chitects,
engineers and construc-tion
people.

Ministry Talks
North Park's Third Annual Con-ference
on the Christian Ministry
is scheduled to run from tomorrow
through Sunday, according to an
announcement from Seminary
Dean Donald C. Frisk. The con-ference,
intended for college stu-dents
considering the Christian
ministry as their vocation, begins
with registration on Friday after-noon
and runs through dinner on
Sunday.
Over 200 persons participated in
the 1966 conference, and it is hoped
that a similarly large number will
attend in 1964',. The committee plan-ning
the conference is headed by
the Reverend LeRoy M. Johnson
and includes Dr. Fredrick Holm-gren
and Dr. F. Burton Nelson, as
well as Dean Fisk.
Registration will be held in Ny-vall
Hall between 4 and 6 p.m. to-morrow.
The keynote address of
the conference will be delivered by
President Karl A. Olsson, at 8 p.m.
in Isaacson Chapel.
Major addresses will be given on
Saturday morning by the Reverend
Robert L. Erickson, superintendent
of the Covenant Central Confer-
Conference, and the Reverend
Glenn Wiberg, pastor of the First
Covenant Churc h, Youngstown,
Ohio. They will consider the chal-lenge
of the ministry in contempo-rary
life and the role of today's
minister.
Following the luncheon on Satur-day,
a panel on specialized minis-tries
will discuss the following
areas: world missions, the rural
church, the inner-city church,
Christian education and chaplain-cies.
Representatives of these va-rious
fields will serve on the panel.
At 3 p.m. Saturday Dean Don-ald
C. Frisk will discuss "The Life
of the Seminary." Following his
presentation, a Seminary student
will give his view of the experi-ence
of a Seminarian. These ad-dresses
will be followed by a tour
of the Seminary library and of
Lund House, the apartment build-ing
housing married Seminary stu-dents.
The drama group of the North
Park Covenant Church will pre-sent
a religious drama at 7:30 that
evening. This will be followed at

With the confusion and hilarity
of a Mardi Gras, North Park stu-dents
in convention on Wednesday,
April 13, selected two candidates to
battle each other for the office of
President of the Student Associa-tion.
The mixing of politics and a
social event, started two years ago
in an effort to involve the North
Park student in the affairs of stu-dent
government, again proved
successful, as close to 400 students,
on 59 different delegations, showed
up to scream, speak, demonstrate
and vote for next year's Student
Association President. The con-vention,
which lasted close to five
hours, showed some of the origi-nality
and humor of the students,
who used every effort to brighten
the proceedings, ranging from Ala-bama's
Ku Klux Klanners to Cali-fornia's
"Hell's Angels," to Nava-da's
gamblers and "hostesses."
The first hour of the convention
dealt with the routine and neces-sary
tasks of introductions, reso-lutions
and explanations of pro-ceedings
by permanent chairman
John Hanson. The keynote address,
given by present SA President Jim
Martins, underlined the accom-plishments
of the last two adminis-

trations and expressed the hope for
further advancements.
Seven candidates were nomi-nated
after lengthy "chains" of
states yielding from state to state
around the convention floor. The
seven consisted of Gerry Palmer,
Dan Johnson, Tom Anderson, Ed
Cucci, Brian Wilkins, Merle Harms
and Ernie Lagasse. Of these, An-derson,
Harms and Cocci declined
further advancements.
The voting opened with Ala-bama's
abstention whereupon a
number of delegations followed
suit by abstaining from the voting
and by expressing their sentiment
and reasons, many of which con-cerned
Cucci's decline of the nomi-nation.
The vote after the first
ballot showed a certain disinterest
in the available candidates as 17
delegations had abstained, 18 had
cast their votes for Palmer, 9 for
Lagasse, 8 for Wilkins and 5 for
Johnson.
Since convention rules stated
that each candidate had to receive
more than two-fifths of the availa-ble
votes on the same ballot, the
convention appeared to be hope-lessly
deadlocked with prospects
for a continuation the following
evening looking probable. But be-fore
the second ballot began, Dan
Johnson withdrew from the ballot-and

ing, leaving only three candidates
— Palmer, Wilkins and Lagasse.
The second ballot proved to be
equally inconclusive, but by this
time the delegates were tiring of
the proceedings, and a definite
mood of "let's get it over with"
was detected. The second ballot,
marked by numerous polls of the
individual delegations, resulted
with Palmer receiving 24')2 votes,
Wilkins 15, Lagasse and 10
votes going to Abstain. The con-vention
then quickly moved into

the third and final ballot, which
finally produced two winners. The
vote on this ballot was Palmer

one vote for Abstain.
With the voting finished, the can-didates
picked their vice-presiden-tial
running-mates and, after
unanimous convention approval, the
evening ended. This Friday will
pit Brian Wilkins and his running-mate
Dave Johnson against Gerry
Palmer and his vice-presidential
candidate, Tom Anderson.

Thorburn Gives Recital
Mr. David L. Thorburn
Mr. David L. Thorburn, assistant professor of music, will present
an organ recital this Tuesday evening at 8:15 in the College Chapel.
His program includes "Prelude in E-flat Major" by Johann Sebas-tian
Bach; "Messe Solemnelle a l'usage des Paroisses" by Francois
Couperin; three "Organ Sonatas"
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, (F
Major — No. 7, A Major — No. 8,
and D Major — No. 10) ; "Troi-sieme
Chorales en La Mineur" by
Cesar Franck; "Pieces en style
Libre" by Lklaill Vierne; and "En-trata
Festiva" Op. 93, by Flor Pee-ters.
The last number is a con-temporary
composition in which
Thorburn will be assisted by in-strumental
and vocal students of
North Park.
Thorburn has a master of mu-sic
degree and three and one-half
years of doctoral studies from
Northwestern University, where he
studied under Dr. Berret Spank.
In addition to his work at North
Park, he is organist and choir-master

worship at the North Park Cove-nant
Church at the 11 a.m. service.
The conference will be ended after
the dinner, Sunday noon.
Peterson Stages
Play by Puppets
Miss Margaret Peterson, associ-ate
professor of speech, recently
gave her first presentation of
Everyman, a famous medieval mo-rality
play which she has adapted
for portrayal in a puppet show.
Miss Peterson was a guest per-former
at an oral interpretation
festival at Georgetown College in
Kentucky on March 21. Students
from ten colleges attended the fes-tival.
Since Everyman is a medieval
play, costuming for the puppets is
very elaborate and required much
work and research. Miss Peterson
made all of the puppets and cos-tumes
herself. She has done sev-eral
puppet shows before but none
has involved as much work as
Every man.
Miss Peterson is scheduled for
several more presentations of Ev-eryman
this spring.

CARE Program
Honors Mothers
The North Park student body
and faculty has been invited to par-ticipate
in the CARE Mothers' Day
Gift Plan. Under this plan, an in-dividual
can honor his or her
mother by sending a gift through
CARE, in her name, to a needy
mother and her children overseas.
The mother of the donor is then
sent a card by CARE, signed with
the donor's name. The card reads:
"As a remembrance to you on
Mothers' Day, I have sent a gift in
your name to a needy mother and
her children in another land
through CARE."
Checks should be sent to CARE,
Inc., 220 S. State St., Chicago, Ill.,
60604. The donor should indicate
the name and address of the person
to be honored, the amount (mini-mum
$1 per name), and his own
name and address. Orders should
reach CARE by May 2.
THE COLLEGE NEWS Thursday, April 21,
ebitoriat:
It's That Time Again
Yes, folks, it's that tune of the yeat. again. Students are once more
asked to make a decision concerning the North Park College Student
Association and its leaders. Tomorrow's election will determine the
president and vice-president of the NPCSA, as well as 11 of the Senators.
Operating from the premise that student government is, to a certain
extent, worthwhile (which would be a topic for a complete editorial in
and of itself), many people still question the value of voting in this
particular election. Due to a variety of reasons, the choice is viewed by
many as an extremely difficult one. or those who look beyond personali-ties
and attempt to get at the issues, the presidential campaign seems
quite baffling. Either little difference is seen between the positions of
the two nominees, or both are viewed as close friends who would be hurt
if their friends made a decision, or both are seen as unfit for the job.
In an effort to clear up some of the confusion, the News has de-voted
an unprecedented amount of space to the presidential campaign.
Both platforms are presented, and the candidates themselses are in-tersiewed
in an impromptu and unrehearsed session of questioning by
former SA President John Benson. The News has been published the
day before the election to enable students to read these carefully be-fore
making a final decision. We hope they prose helpful to some
of you who are experiencing difficulties in attempting to make a
choice.
To those of you for whom the presidential campaign is still ridi-culous,
we urge you not to stay away from the polls entirely. Contrary
to an unfortunately widespread belief, you do nut have to vote for every
office in order to have your vote counted. If you choose to ignore the
presidential campaign, you do not forfeit your right to vote in the Sena-torial
campaign.
We suggest that those of you who are disenchanted with the presi-dential
campaign either ignore that election or else utilize your right,
under the procedures of the Australian ballot, to write in another presi-dential-
vice-presidential team.
The important thing to realize at this point Is that a strong and
effective Senate is every bit as important as a strong and effectise
president. A good Senate can make or break a president, backing
him up actively on his good ideas and prosing an effective opposition
to his less-than-good ideas. An active Senate can be a source of
ideas itself, and it is the place of differing opinions to be expressed.
We feel that the Senatorial campaign this year offers an unusu-ally
fine assortment of potential leaders. It would be a shame to
ace some of the best of these not elected simply because people de-cided
to stay away from the polls due to their dissatisfaction with
the presidential nominees.
We hope that you will be able to come to a decision regarding the
presidential candidates and give one of them your support. However, if
you feel that you cannot honestly support either of the candidates, then
we must urge you not to neglect the important Senatorial races. Read
the platforms, talk to the candidates, and cast your vote intelligently.
Next year's Senate depends on it.
B. A. W.
Students Attend Conference at UN
(Tuesday, April If, 36 North Porkers left the grassy Spaulding
Avenue for the asphalt paths of Midtown Manhattan, site of the United
Nations. The expedition, under the patient guidance of Dr. and Mrs.
Robert 0. Byrd and Mr. Vernon Wettersten, was the result of months of
planning, letter writing and fund soliciting by Dr. Byrd. The following
is an evaluation of the trip as seen by two News reporters who were on
the trip. — Ed.)
It is impossible to convey the awe of standing before the concrete
presence of what was formerly a myth propigated by Walter Cronkite,
Cogle, the John Birch Society and the bumper-ticker makers.
Our introductory meeting with Mr. Erick Walter of the Secretariat
Staff signaled the fact that this was no ordinary tourist's visit, for we
began with a discussion of some thorny problems and were surprised to
discovcr how little we really knew about the U.N.
To those who tend to place the U.N. on the level of God, mother-hood
and the flag, it came as a surprise to learn that the U.N. is
unashamedly a political organization, dealing with practical problems
of power. This is reflected within its own organization in such mat-ters
as the relationships between the General Assembly, the Security
Council and the Secretariat. One skirmish in this struggle was the
Soviet and French refusal to pay certain assessments. (Interestingly,
some of those we talked with indicated that the U.S. lost very little,
if anything.)
Our sessions with various governmental representatives and U.N.
personnel produced a spirit of openness and a willingness to talk about
controversial matters in specific terms.
Perhaps the highpoint of the trip was a meeting with His Excel-lency
Joseph T. F. Iyalla, Deputy Permanent Representative of Nigeria
to the U.N. Mr. Iyalla, a personal friend of Dr. Byrd, spoke about the
problems confronting his nation and its relationship to the United
States. While his open appeal for constructive criticism from the
United States as a mark of true friendship surprised us, his comment
that the United States was unwilling to accept helpful criticism fi-om
others about Viet Nam did not. Undoubtedly his confession that his
people were extremely frustrated when independence failed to solve all
their problems impressed us, not only for its truth, but for the ability of
a diplomat to admit problems within his own country.
Indeed, it was this ability which marked most of our sessions.
For instance, Mr. S. A. Pasha, First Secretary of the Mission of Pakis-tan
to the U.N., quite openly indicated that the problem in the Kash-mir
crisis was in fact due to the failure of both India and Pakistan to
live up to agreements made years ago. Even Valentin Vadimovich Lo-zinski,
Second Secretary to the Soviet Embassy, talked frankly about
the Sino-Soviet split. Only M. Jean Noel de Bouillane de !Amite,
secretary of the French Mission to the U.N., and Mr. John F. Baker,
Jr., senior advisor on Political and Security Council Affairs for the
United States, failed to convey a spirit of complete openness, Mr.
Baker being the worst offender. On the whole, our impression was
Vox Populi
Dear Editor:
We would like to express our in-debtedness
to Dr. and Mrs. Byrd;
to Mr. Wetterson; to Mr. Cucci and
to the administration for making
possible our recent visit to the
United Nations.
Knowing that this trip involved
much label- by many people, we
nevertheless would like to recog-nize
Dr. Byrd for his vast pre-liminary
and follow-through work.
without which we would not have
had the valuable sessions with the
representatives of Pakistan, Nige-ria,
the United States, the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics,
France, the Trusteeship Council
and the Economic Council for Asia
and the Far East.
While we each possess our per-sonal
memories of this journey, we
agree that the academic value of a
concrete confrontation with the
United Nations and its peoples has
yielded a broader view of its sig-nificant
activities than possible to
obtain in the classroom.
One of the many things we
gained was an awareness of the im-plications
of recognizing the Peo-ples
Republic of China as the rep-resentative
of the 700 million
people within its borders.
Perhaps the best way we may

were genuinely dedicated to
the United Nations and its ac-tivities.
Thursday night we heard from
a nun-governmental organization.
the Quaker United Nations Pro-gram.
The two representatives told
us that their part is merely to ex-press
a non-governmental point of
view on certain issues. The vari-ous
n.g.o.'s are allowed to speak in
the General Assembly if the mem-ber
states agree that there is
enough time. Most of the n.g.o.'s
receive their support from large
corporations interested in the issue
they are backing.
In the realm of the less political
9r non-political activities of the
Secretariate, we met with M. Phil-ippe
L. de Nouy, second secretary
of the Trusteeship Council, the
Fourth Committee, and the Com-mittee
of 24. Most of his works
dealt with the problem of old colo-nial
territories as they became in-dependent.
One can only speculate
as to what the struggles of the
emerging nations has meant to him
personally because several of his
personal friends were assassinated
due to the political upheavals of
the newly independent nations.
In addition, we were intro-duced
to the Mekong River
Project by Mrs. Ruth Marshall
of the Economic Council for
Asia and the Far East. Her
discussion of this project re-vealed
the capabilities of the
U.N. to help make life better
in Southeast Asia through the
detailed taming of a river.
These and similar projects by
other United Nations agencies
comprise the unpublished bulk
of U.N. activity.
Thus ending the business of the
trip, we had only to think of the
pleasure. Friday night we had the
privilege of seeing IFIertolt Brecht's
"The Caucasian Chalk C i r cl e."
Lincoln Center, where it was play-ing,
was a thrill in itself.
In the "Caucasian Chalk Circle,"
patterned after the Solomon epic,
Brecht concerns himself with the
question of the right to ownership
Through the absurd judge Agdack,
the conclusion is that he who de-serves
shall be allowed to possess.
Although the Lincoln Center cast
did their best to portray ade-quately
the portrayal of the
harshness of Brecht's anti-war,
anti-ruling class invectives, the
over-speculatization of the play
somewhat reduced Brecht's style.
express our appreciation to those
responsible for our visit to the U.N.

worthwhile and to en-courage
similar educational expedi-tions.

Name withheld by request
Dear Editorial Board:
I feel that your editorial "Edu-cation
vs. Athletics Reviewed"
failed to represent the North Park
athletic situation fairly. In de-fense
of our athletic policies I
should like to disagree with four of
your charges.
(I) The North Park student does
care about athletics. It is sup-ported
better than any other extra-curricular
activity. It is difficult to
imagine a caravan of 200 students
journeying all the way to Rock Is-land
to attend the Lecture and Art-ist
Series, the winter banquet or
even Fools-a-go-go, but this actu-ally
happened for the Augustana
football game.
(2) Students will not attend
games with the same regularity
whether we win or lose. Two years
ago we went through our CCI bas-ketball
schedule winning only one
of twelve games. In the past two
seasons our CCI home record has
been 9-3. The attendance this
year was nearly double that of two
years ago. Sports illustrated
(March 7, 1966) states that in ma-jor
league baseball the difference
between first place and a second-division
finish is at least a 300,0i
attendance drop.
(3) Your statement that schotti
honor and concern for it "seems to
have gone out with the raccoon
coat" is completely unfounded. I
cite our last home basketball game
of the season against Augustans
to best illustrate this point. Any-one
prose'., could sense from tht
opening tap an intense desire to
win, and we of the student body
felt tremendous pride after secur-ing
the victory. As we walked
proudly from the gym that night.
the honor of our school was still
very important to us.
(4) Your recommendation to
cease all athletic grants in aid
would sorely hurt our school. Coe-trary
to the view of your editorial,
the boy who is an athlete contrib-utes
a great deal to school spirit.
Winning athletic teams also attract
prospective students. It is only
the fields of music and athletics
that North Park students have /Ia.l
an extensive opportunity to repre-sent
the school. Even as we do nut
wish to send out a second-rate
choir neither can we be satisfied
with inferior athletic teams.
I would invite you, the authors
of the editorial, to spend just or
season on any of our teams before
levelling further accusations. The
opportunity is there, because of our
nine varsity sports only the baste:-
ball team found it necessary

Palmer's Platform Urges Unity
Of Three Contributing Factions
by Gerald C. Palmer and Thomas B. Anderson
The process of higher education in which we all are involved is one
cf constant exposure to new things, new ideas and new experiences.
Every student, every member of the faculty and administration has dif-ferent
contributions to make to our college experience. They must exist
as a unified force upon the individual student in order for his experience
here to be complete. Thus it is the task of student government and its
leaders to coordinate student activities and promote cooperation between
the students, faculty and administration.
It is also the task of student government to effectively represent
student opinion. Therefore we believe student government is a place
where both majority and minority opinions can be fairly represented.
Student government most also look beyond iself, striving not
only to serve itself, but the whole College community.
Operating on the premise that we would like to make our exprience
here at North Park as enriching as possible, we wish to build on the
progressive traditions of the past and improve the existing services pro-vided
by student government, and while the following ideas do not pre-sent
alternatives which will make student government perfect, we feel
they will encourage both growth and maturity.
RELIGIOUS LIFE — There are over 30 different denominations and
faiths represented on our campus. To serve the multiple needs of our
heterogeneous student body, a diversified program is necessary. In this,
an attempt would be made to promote interaction and dialogue among
students of differing beliefs and backgrounds.
We are concerned with maintaining a healthy Christian atmosphere,
for we feel that spiritual growth is most vital to the growth of a mature
individual. To promote this atmosphere of Christian maturity, we intend
to utilize the Religious Life Commission to its fullest potential. To
achieve these ends, we propose the following:
(1) That the Religious Life Commission, in conjunction with the
haplain's Office and the Administration, clear up the presently vague
chapel attendance requirement by possibly stating, for example, that
there are 21 chapels per term and students must attend all but five.
We also intend to approach the Administration about giving the
Chaplain a larger budget, making possible more outside speakers.
(2) That the Religious I.ife Commission investigate the possi-bility
of getting some sell-known speakers to come to our campus,
such as Wilkerson, author of The Cross and the Switchblade.
(3) That we will work to get more individuals involved in the
fellow ship ser. ices and continue in and improve upon the tradition
of meaningful services which we have had in the past year,
(I) That the Religious Life Commission seek to augment the
devotional programs in the dorms, by• bringing in various seminarians
and faculty members.
(5) That Isaacson Chapel be open each morning for prayer and
private devotion.
INTERCOLLEGIATE AFFAIRS — Student government has an ob-
,zation first to the student body which it represents, and second to
students of other campuses. By sharing with students from other schools
we may lend them something of ourselves and conversely we may re-ceive
new ideas and insights, thus helping us to expand and mature.
Ti, increase this communication, we propose the following:
(I) Full use of the NSA informational resources, and participa-tion
in those activities of the organization in which we may both give
and receive ideas.
(2) More active participation in the MCG1 Midwest College
Government Association, composed of schools similar to North Park
in size and nature, such as the CCI college and other such schools in
the Illinois-Wisconsin area. Because of the smallness of the organi-zation
and the commonality of the schools in it, we feel we can
obtain free and meaningful communication about problems and ideas
which are pertinent, in some measure, to all participating schools.
The MCGA can also provide:
A. Drama and art exchanges (a possible way to cover the bare
walls of our Student Union).
B. A possible pool of chapel and convocation speakers.
C. Concert group exchanges.
D. A hosteling program in which students visiting our city
could stay on our campus, and of course the same service would be
provided at other schools in the association.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS -- As American citizens, we have
an obligation to our country and to the world in which we live. The
insecure position of nation, intense doctrinal rivalry, war, despair and
death force each one of us to be concerned. To instill the reality of
this situation and educate students about current world problems, we
propozc the following:

The 1966 North Park College
Student Association elections will
be held tomorrow between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Students whose last names begin
with the letters A through L will
vote in the Library, while students
with names beginning with the let-ters
M through 2 will cast their
ballots in the Student Union.
Slated for election are a presi-dent
and vice-president of the SA
and 11 senators — four each from
the future senior and junior classes
and three from next year's sopho-more
class.
All present full-time students
(defined in the Constitution as, one
who is "enrolled in a program of
not less than two course units")
are eligible to vote. Present sen-iors
will be permitted to vote only
for the presidential-vice-presiden-tial
teams; present f r es hme n.
sophomores and juniors will be per-mitted
to vote for president and
vice-president in addition to the
senators from their own class.
The election climaxes a week and
a half of campaigning which began
on Wednesday, April 13 with the
third annual NPCSA Nominating
Convention. (See Page 1.)

Sketches of Candidates'
Past Services Divulged
This week's election features
four diverse candidates, hailing
from different parts of the country
and all exhibiting a record of great
involvement in the activities of
this campus.
Palmer — Anderson
Gerald C. Palmer is a junior
from Cleveland, Ohio. He has
served as class senator for the past
three years and has served on a
number of important committees,
including the Senate Nominating
Committee, where he was chair-man,

his studies in graduate school upon
leaving North Park.
Trying out President Jim Martins' desk for size and planning executive
duties are Brian Wilkins and his vice-presidential candidate David J.
Johnson.
Wilkins Emphasizes Importance
Of Commissions in SA Actions
by Brian Wilkins and David Johnson
The college student is presented with many facets of life: relation-ships
with a variety of people, new and changing ideas, and growth that
comes from living in a different environment. A maturing process of
the individual, finding his place in the total college experience, is a process
which is reflected in all the student's association and experiences. The
SA is concerned with the individual student.
Through communication established between students, faculty
and administration, student opinions and ideas are presented. But
this communication should progress beyond the campus to include
active involvement in the community. We can best benefit ourselves
by benefiting others. Thus, communication of ideas and opinions is a
major goal of student government.
The major communicating force of student government is the Senate.
The Senate is an effective body, representing student opinion, which pre-sents
these opinions to the faculty anti administration. We plan to set up
a Student Association display with pictures of the senators and SA offi-cers,
so that students might know who their representatives are. We also
encourage the use of polls, as some senators did this year, to sample
student opinion.
We believe that in the ten commissions lies the greatest potential
for active student government. In the past two administrations the
tremendous value of the commissions has begun to he realized. l'resi-dent
Martins met once a week with all of the commission chairmen to
discuss common and individual problems, to make sure that each
commission channeled its powers most effectively, to promote inter-action
of commissions, and to establish a sense of unity and involve-ment
in the Student Association.
The commissions affect, in part, almost every aspect of campus
life, and are not to be underrated. It is the commissions which plan
the social program, publicize the city's cultural events, organize sup-port
for athletic events, sponsor Fellowship and many other activi-ties.
Thus we pledge our support to the commissions.
Our plans for the commissions are:
SOCIAL EVENTS: The social events this year have begun to satisfy
the need for a broader social program on campus. The "traditional"
programs were enlivened, and, in addition, a fresh interest in student par-ticipation
was discovered. This interest was manifest in the volleyball
tournament and in the square dances. We encourage continuation and
expansion of this kind of activity.
We propose to encourage the various campus clubs and organizations
to take an active part in the social program by sponsoring their own ac-tivities
within the general social events curriculum. In this way, we hope
to involve more students in the planning of social programs.
INTERCOLLEGIATE AFFAIRS: Outside of athletic events,
North Park has little contact with neighboring schools. Unfortu-nately,
each school stands isolated, and little attempt at communica-tion
has been made. To improve our relations with other schools, to
broaden our awareness of student problems and to enrich our social
and cultural programs we propose an active intercollegiate exchange
program.
The Midwest ('ollege Government Association (Mt GA) is an or-ganization
of schools similar in size to North l'ark. struggling with
this problem of intercollegiate communication. Through North Park's
support of the BCGA a mutual benefit will he realized in this area.
There are many conflicting opinions in the Senate about the value
of the National Student Association (NSA) to the North l'ark Stu-dent
Association. It is true that North Park can have little to say
in this organization which contains so many larger schools. We be-lieve
that MCGA would be of greater benefit to ourselves and to
others. But the knowledge of and willingness to use NSA materials
which apply to our SA should not he disdained.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: An exciting start to the newly
formed International Relations Commission was its sponsoring of the
United Nations trip to New York this spring. To learn more about
the workings of our national government and about the history of and
policy in specific international affairs is a goal of this commission. We
propose to make sure that the knowledge of this commission is presented
to the student body through the Coll, ge News, anti through open discus-sion
of world events. Guest speakers should be brought in from time to
time to provide outside opinion on major issues and to increase the in-terest
in the commission.
CAMPUS CENTER: Although the Campus, Center does not lend
itself to all-school activities, we feel that it does provide valuable
services. We will expand these services, e.g., more bicycles and
tsndems. more chess and pool competition and a greater number arid

Page 4 THE COLLEGE NEWS I hursday, April 21, 1966
Presidential Candidates Express Hopes in News Interview
(Ed. note: In an effort to determine more adequately the various
opinions and positions held by the two major candidates for president
of S.4, the COLLEGE NEWS decided to conduct interviews with them. The
candidates were asked the same questions in separate interviews; their
responses are juxtaposed below for the benefit of readers wishing to com-pare
and contrast them.
Asking the questions for the Mews was Mr. John S. Benson, presi-dint
emeritus of the North Park College Student Association. Benson
currently enrolled in the Seminary.
The NEWS expresses special thanks to Miss Sue Carlson, Miss Mari-lyn
Wend( and Mrs. 0. C. Whisler, who transcribed the tape recordings
of the interviews.)
by John S. Benson
BENSON: What do you think is the specific function of a plat-form
and how do you plan to go about putting the specific planks of
your platform into effect?
PALMER: I feel that you could cover a lot of your ideas and aspira-tions
verbally, but I think it helps the people to decide which candidate to
vote for. I also feel that by putting it down in writing, you sort of
commit yourself and you feel that you have some sort of an obligation
to fulfill some of these promises.
Obviously, there are things in the platform everyone isn't going to
agree with. I feel I would try to implement and get these ideas going
through people whom I would appoint in the Senate and through the
commissions.
WILKINS: First of all, the platform presented to the student body
gives representations of the feelings of the presidential candidates and
their accomplishments and tries to list some of the things that the presi-dent
and his vice-president would like to see come into effect.
Now in my platform, I have tried to explain why I would like to see
the campus and the college extend itself into the community and the sur-rounding
area of North Park, specifically in contacts with the North
River Commission. Now, to get this program into effect, we've built
around a "benefitting ourselves by benefitting others" idea and specifically
using social activities, social services, athletic events — all in coordina-tion
with one another; working to unify ourselves, yet spreading our-selves
out to the community and to the people in the at-ca.
BENSON: Can you think of some specific difficulties which the
student government has had in the past? What concrete solutions do
you have to deal with these problems?
WILKINS: The problem has been on and off-campus participation
together. We haven't come right out and said this this year in our plat-form,
because we felt that this past year much of this had been taken
care of. All the commissions had active on and off-campus students on
them, and working with the on-campus students many of the problems
which had come up in the commissions before were solved and a lot of
the stress and strain had been taken off the system that this commission
tried to put forth as far as bringing the two factions together.
Of course, there is always the problem of apathy and this is a trite
expression; I don't like the word at all, but it is a problem.
Social events has, I think, taken care of itself. I don't think there
has to be anything mentioned about this.
But as far as social services go, the students of North Park don't
realize the opportunity that they have here, and this is the problem with
communication, or the fact that they just don't realize that it is present
at all.
We must also try to generate enthusiasm in these areas — in re-ligious
life. Many of the students that are upperclassmen now have lost
interest altogether in chapel. They feel that there is nothing that can be
done with chapel. But we think there is, and we would like to see what
their opinions on them are.
PALMER: I think that this might be connected with the question of
apathy to a certain extent; apathy about student government. As you
well know, every once in a while there are a lot of people who feel that
student government is just a lot of kids who think they are important,
and play around. This is why I would like to get people to feel that
student government is something more than this.
One thing I, myself, would like to do in this respect is to try to start
some sort of policy with office hours. You mentioned that one of the
problems which you had to deal with was that people didn't come in to
see you. I feel that I would view office hours as being primarily a time
when I could get my own work done. Secondly, people could come to see
me, but I would try to consider my job to be more getting out of the
office to visit people and find out what they are doing.
I don't think that people should come to the president with all their
problems: they should come to the senators. People don't come to the
office and say, "I have a problem," or "How should I do this," or "What's
the best method," but they should come to the senators who come to the
Senate and we can work this out collectively. In my position, I would
coordinate these ideas and bring them down and focus them into some
type of action.
Values and Functions
BENSON: I would like you to gis e a realistic and honest assess-ment
of some of the basic points and values and functions of the Stu-dent
Association on the North Park campus.
PALMER: As long as we don't have fraternal organizations at
North Park, the student government should encompass all, or nearly
all, of that which a fraternal set-up would take. I suppose you can say
this centers around the social sphere, but, more realistically speaking,
I would like to think of the student government as being something that
would provide meaning — where people of different viewpoints, different
opinions and different experiences could come and share these experi-ences
through the activity which the Student Association does promote.
I think this is the core of our college experience — experiencing new
things and changes in your own attitude about different things and other
viewpoints and about life in general.
WILKINS: The Student Association has its ten commissions, and
this is basically what we are for this year. I think this is our strongest
point. The commissions themselves bring forth different interests that all
students have.
Many students are concerned with religious life on our campus and
the Student Association gives these kids a chance to participate actively
in Fellowship. We hope to have a word in what they want in chapel,
and so on. It brings this faction of the student body closer to what
"Now, to get this program into ef-fect,
we've built around a "bene-fitting
ourselves by benefiting oth-ers'
idea . . . spreading ourselses
out to the community and to the
people in the area."
they are interested in.
Social events is another part of
the Student Association and this
brings in more interest for differ-ent
students. Athletic events is
another one.
These commissions bring an in-terest
into the student body so
that these students realize what
they can do in their various areas.
Through these commissions that
are organized a lot of pushing can
be done and so many of these stu-dents
will come through.
BENSON: Last Wednesday night,
on the last ballot, one of the dele-gations
abstained because they felt
that none of the remaining candi-dates
would adequately represent
the off-campus students. You have
chosen as your running-mate an on-campus
fellow. My question is,
"W hat account are you taking of
the ,off-campus students in your
campaign platform and plans for
the year? How do you claim to
and plan to represent the whole stu-dent
body?"
WILKINS: This past year, all
the commissions had an off-cam-pus
representative. I know that
all these off-campus representatives
participated vigorously and helped
our programs very much in these
different areas. Now in our plat-form
there isn't that much about
off-campus students, basically be-cause
we've tried to leave in this
continuum plan from last year and
we've trusted the off-campus stu-dents
to see that we're catering to
them just as much as we are to
anyone else. This push on the so-cial
services commission, working
with the youngsters in the area,
this is open to as many people as
are needed to comply with the de-mand,
and actually the majority
of the people who work on this are
off-campus students.
As far as catering to them any-more
than anyone else, the union
this year has provided an excellent
opportunity for both factions to
come together and I don't think
there's the division that there used
to be when MOC had their lounge
and we had ours. This has done
an overwhelming amount of equal-izing,
and I don't thing that there's
this huge faction anymore. And
I'm not concerned with it.
PALMER: Obviously, the school
is unique in the fact that we have
a large number of students com-muting,
and while I feel that it is
obviously a cleft between the stu-dents
who are on and off-campus,
I feel that there are a great many
other interests that students will
have whether they are on or off-campus.
These things will unify
both on and off-campus students,
and this is what we are trying to
do — to provide a wide spectrum of
things which kids will be inter-ested
in, such as international re-lations,
intercollegiate affairs, re-ligious
life — not to say we are
going to down-play social events,
but we feel that those who are off-campus
have gone to high schools
around here, and that they still
associate with their high school
friends, the friends they have
around home. They have social
loyalties here and they have di-vided
interests; whereas for the
kids on campus, this is the extent
of their social life.
I feel that through providing
things other than that, there would
be more on which to base our at-tempts
to unify on and off-campus
students than just social things.
BENSON: The Union has been
open for half a year now. How
would you esaluate its program?
V1 hat are the good and had points
of it?
PALMER: I think the tradi-tional
Union program at most
schools is a social program. Some
of the schools I have been in, usu-ally
the social director is pretty
intrinsically involved with the ac-tivities
of the Union and a lot of
times they are the same persons.
When it comes right down to it,
our Union is not constructed in
such a way that we can have such
collective social experiences within
the complex of the building.
I personally feel that it has
helped the on-campus — off-cam-pus
community. Of course, a lot
of the off-campus kids would go
home at night and they don't have
a whole lot of reason to hang
around the Union, whereas the
kids on campus get out of the li-brary
at 10 o'clock and they have
half an hour — and where are they
going to go? To the Union, of
course.
I think that there have been
more off-campus kids staying
around mixing with the on-campus
students at that time and during
the day — using the listening room,
the pool room and the TV room.
Of course, you can question how
much communication people have
when they are watching TV.
WILKINS: One of the bad
points is that the money which
has been used in the Union this
year has all been under adminis-trative
control. The SA actually
has not functioned that closely
with the Union financially. This
is a very weak point, when the
Union has to rely on the adminis-tration
to get anything at all.
They've been able to get a maga-zinc
subscription, and that's about
all on their own.
The blank walls in the Union
are a large concern to many people,
but if we have an art thing in there
that's insured, it has to be guarded
24 hours a day, and the building
has to be locked and all this other
business and so it's ridiculous. Un-til
the Union can come into the
SA more, and we can work with
them as far as money matters go,
it's going to remain a little hit
remote.
As far as the programs that are
going to take place in the Union,
it's just getting on its feet now.
In this next year it's going to play
an awfully important part in post-game
activities, especially during
the basketball season when there',
such a lag in social status.
NSA and MCGA
BEAsso.N.: What do you think are
the %aloes and the role of the NSA
(National Student Association) on
the North Park campus?
WILKINS: Well, NSA has been
very remote thus far in relation to
NP, and many people say we don't
have the contact that we should
have with the NSA or any organi-zation
that they belong to. How-ever,
I don't think we've availed
ourselves of the different materials
(Continued on Page 5)
"I would like to think of the stu-dent
government as being some-thing
that would provide meaning
— where people of different view -
points . . . could come and share
these experiences through the ac
tivity which the Student Associa-tion
does promote."
Palmer Platform --
(Continued fr,in Page :;)
(1) That the International Affairs Commission schedule speak-ers
to visit our campus and discuss pertinent world problems.
(2) That the Commission sponsor more tours to places such as
Washington, D.C.
(3) That the Commission sponsor open forums, debates and
possibly teach-ins, about issues of international concern, with the
purpose of stimulating and educating.
FACULTY-STUDENT-ADMINISTRATION RELATIONS — A to-tal
college experience is a collective thing, demanding participation from
students, faculty and administration. In the interest of making all three
better working units of this team we feel it imperative that the student,
have good communication with the faculty and administration. To im•
prove and encourage these relations and relationships, we propose:
(1) More faculty involvement in student life by encouraging
active participation in student productions, such as the College News
and some social events.
(2) Representation on some of the sarious faculty committees,
such as the curriculum and academic standards committees.
(3) Better use of teacher evaluations, such as the one recently
taken. To be an effective vehicle of constructive criticism, the evalua-tion
must be comprehensise and the teachers must receise a repre-sentative
sampling of opinion, a fault of the last evaluation.
(4) Talks given by the heads of the various departments on
the theme of, "What you can do with your major."
ATHLETICS — We feel that the athletic program at North Pars
is growing and expanding. Entry into the CCI has forced us to recruit
and thus increase the quality of our teams. While we are firmly behind
each varsity team we also feel a need to provide an adequate oppor-tunity
for those interested individuals who are not on varsity teams to
participate. The present intramural program is good but can use some
improvement. We have five specific proposals in this area.
(1) That the Athletic Events Commission publicize each game
and meet for all Varsity competition.
(2) That support for away contests he increased, the costs of
transportation to be partially subsidized by the Student Association.
(3) That the Spirit Week activities be continued.

Palmer, Wilkins
(Contiiued from Page I)
that they're offering us. When
o r representatives come back,
seine of them are energetic, some
ef them are sick of the whole thing,
but they don't really present the
different programs that the NSA
has offered especially for small
colleges.
I think that we should concen-t
--a: v more on the programs that
•• y have for us, rather than try-to
build ourselves up to fit
Ale university. I think that this
awfully important to seek.
PALMER: I feel that NSA has
alething to contribute to our
tool, or to any school. Some of
ti c literature which we get from
's -A at times I feel is superfluous.
At other times there are some
ttiings and programs which they
have that are valuable and from
▪ hich we might glean some meth-ods
and ideas which might be use-ful
to us here and in going to the
conferences where you can inter-act
with tither students.
BENSON: What about the
MCGA?
PALMER: The association as
such — well, looking at it realis-tically,
I suppose you could say it
is sort of defunct. It has run down
most likely due to the fact that the
person in charge of it last year
didn't do his job. A new president
has been elected who is very en-thusiastic
about it. Because there
are fewer people in the organiza-tion,
communication will probably
be a little easier. North Park can
both contribute and gain quite a
bit from the MCGA. Anybody who
has been to other schools and vis-ited
their student governments
would perhaps realize that North
Park is eons ahead of many of
them and in this respect we can
contribute quite a bit to their set-ups
while they try to solve prob-lems
that we are already solving.
Also, I think if we can interact
with other schools, maybe some
other school has successfully solved
a situation and we can follow their
methods instead of just trying to
glove things ourselves.
WILKINS: Well, the MCGA, I'm
partial to, mainly because it's a
struggling organization and it's
composed of schools such as ours.
I think that our SA has grown
enough in these past three or four
years to enable itself to become a
figurehead in this MCGA. I think
North Park would benefit itself by
'enefitting others through the
MCGA and through helping the
,,tudent associations to realize their
'dentia] also.
Most Important Issues
BENSON: What do you think are
the issues in this campaign? How
do you differ on these issues from
your opponent? I'm not asking for
any personal critique or mud-sling-
;rig; there's enough of that anyway
m any campaign. Rather, I would
'ike an evaluation of why the cam-paign
is important, what issues you
are dealing with: are these issues
unique, is the campaign worth get-ting
excited about, is it worth vot-ing
in?
PALMER: I think contained in
this question is the element of how
much personal interest we, Tom
and I, have in certain issues and
how much personal interest Dave
and Brian have in certain issues. I
think one important issue in this
campaign is the idea of the Inter-national
Relations Commission
which was just created. I think this
is a great step forward. Aø you
know, the Danforth Foundation has
made studies of small colleges and
found it has been characteristic
of colleges like ours that they tend
to just reflect upon themselves and
they don't grapple with more over-reaching
problems, world Prob-lems,
international problems. I
think this is something of an opin-ion
that we can use to get our-
Discuss
out of our iltlie capsule; out
of our shell.
I think another important issue
is the religious aspect of school.
North Park is in the Covenant tra-dition;
we have a predominantly
Covenant complexion, let's say. But
we have to recognize that there are
about 37 different denominations
and faiths represented on our cam-pus.
I feel that it is very impor-tant
that the people of these dif-ferent
beliefs and denominations
get a chalice to express their views
and interact with other people of
other faiths and circumstances.
I think another important issue
that Toni and I are really inter-ested
in is in intercollegiate af-fairs.
This is another way in
which we can sort of get away
from our own campus.
WILKINS: I realize that Gerry
and I are probably pretty close as
far as a lot of these things go. A
lot of people have said this to me
and may wonder, I know, why
couldn't they get some radical in
there so they could have voted
against him? I'm not sure that
either of us has heard each other
speak except for our acceptance
speeches, where I did strike out on
this community project with the
North River Commission. I know
that he didn't mention this, but
his speech was pretty idealistic, I
think.
This issue is our most important.
Next, the religious life as far as
chapel goes. We'd like to get a
cross-section of the campus, talk
to students who don't go to chapel,
students who wouldn't miss it, and
come to some agreement on this.
BENSON: Somewhat related to
this question is the one -- is stu-dent
government ans- different at
North Park because it is a church -
related school than it might he at a
secular campus?
"I think that any student a ho's
been here for more than a scar
realizes that there's something go-ing
for him. It might be academic,
it might be sports, it might be re-ligion,
but there is some faction in
the school which pleases the person
or else he wouldn't stay here."
WILKINS: Well, because North
Park is church-related, many of the
problems which may come up, as
against the secular campus, would,
of course, be different because of
the way it operates. Here at NP,
I don't think it's largely that dif-ferent.
I know I've talked to kids
from home who've gone to large
universities and their complaint is
that they never see who's on the
SA anyway. All they are interested
in is the frats or their houses, or
so on. They have no interest, they
never vote for an election; they
don't know who's running anyway.
In this aspect, it's different. It
isn't because it's church-related;
it's because of its size. Other than
the fact that there are certain limi-tations
put down by the church for
the school, I don't see why stu-dent
government is actually dif-ferent
from a secular campus.
PALMER: Obviously, you can't
THE COLLEGE NEWS Page S
Issues of Tomorrow's
say that student government is
more moral because this is a Chris-tian
campus. I think that because
the school has been brought up in
the Christian tradition, it is the
job and obligation and duty —
and somewhat of a challenge — to
the student government to provide
opportunities in which students
may have a Christian experience
and interact with other faiths to
grow and develop.
Policy Changes
BENSON: How large a part do
you think the Student Association
should play in effecting policy
changes on the North Park cam-pus?
I have in mind here such
things as dancing, smoking, house,
etc.
PALMER: I feel that students
do have a definite say in what
goes on in policies. The faculty
sets up certain programs: how
they'll teach, when they'll teach,
and the different methods. This
tends to be a sort of one-way com-munication
and I think it is im-portant
for students to interact
with faculty, letting them know
how they feel about their methods,
how they may improve things like
this.
Policies like dancing and smok-ing
— one thing you du have to
remember in situations like these
is that the Board of Directors and
the Administration do have the
final say on this and I feel that
these two issues are not tangled
up, but they are involved in the
tradition of the Covenant and cer-tain
attitudes and changes come
into the school and exist now. While
recognizing this, I think the pres-ent
rules on smoking and dancing
must be clarified and this is the
obligation of the Board of Direc-tors
of the school to give the stu-dents
a valid reason why we do
have certain other things and why
we are compelled to do one thing
and not another. Then after the
student gets this information, he
can work from there to determine
whether he is in accordance with
this or not.
WILKINS: I think that we
ought to realize that these policies
are not going to be changed by
the student association per se; but
we do have the opportunity to
bring to the administration our
feelings on these issues, and why
we feel this way. I think this is
very important — that they real-ize
more than ever why the NP
student wishes to dance on campus,
why he wishes to smoke on cam-pus,
and I think they come up
against these objectively.
They don't think of the church
right off the bat, I don't think.
Of course, they are limited be-cause
of financial aid and so forth.
But they still consider the student
and the SA in these policy changes.
BENSON: Would you care to
comment on the phrase, "If you
don't like it here, you can go some-where
else." It seems that this
might be a pretty sensible solution
to the whole thing, and you can go
somewhere else if you don't like it
here. What do you think about this
attitude?
WILKINS: First of all, it's
small, but it's an awfully easy
way to end an argument, and I
think that this is why it is used
so much — because people can't
think of anything to refute an
argument. But it isn't any argu-ment
actually.
Rather than refute a person with
this statement, I think a lot more
can be done just by sitting down
with a person and asking him what
he does like around here. I realise
that any student who's been here
for more than a year realizes that
there's something going for him.
It might be academics, it might be
sports, it might be religion, but
there is some faction in the school
which pleases the person or else
he wouldn't stay here, and he
wouldn't have to hang around and
listen to this "If you don't like it
here, you can go somewhere else."
PALMER: I think that anybody
who goes around saying something
like this has something of a de-featist
attitude to start with. With
respect to student government, if a
person says that if student govern-ment
can't accomplish it, go some-where
else, I think he doesn't have
any faith in student government.
Not only that, but he doesn't have
any faith in the institution as such.
I think that any student that
has made the choice to come to a
school realizes that there are cer-tain
restrictions anti rules and
policies that he is going to have to
live under; certain situations that
he has to cope with and I think
that as long as he has made the
decision to come to the school, it
is his obligation to help the school
and not to just say, "I am going
to leave this situation because I
can't cope with it and I don't like
it." He should try to clarify it,
help it, and do whatever he can to
try his hand in solving the situa-tion,
rather than just turn his tail
end on it and go someplace else.
Apathy
BENSON: Nue, we are discuss-ing
here the critical student. What
about the apathetic student? I
mentioned him before and what I
am wondering is, what's wrong with
being apathetic?
PALMER: I think one reason
why people might have apathetic
feelings about student government
is that it doesn't touch them. It is
our desire to try to reach out to
as many as we possibly can and let
them feel that they are part of the
whole student process. I feel that
a person who is apathetic is also
shirking his obligation to others if
he runs around saying, "I don't
care" and all that stuff. He should
care. He has an obligation to
other people. If not, he should
try to help other people. Some-times
one can present himself in
such a way that he can't get any-thing
and this promotes some kinds
of apathy and sometimes apathy
smacks of irresponsibility.
WILKINS: Since the person is
removed from the situation, he
most likely feels that only the "im-portant"
person would be inter-ested
in student government, and
he would take on this apathetic out-look.
But because this person has-n't
actually been reached and no
one has tried to communicate with
him, this is where apathy seems
that it's being down on yourself,
realizing that no one has actually
bothered to ask you — what you
actually think, what do you like
most about this school. Since no
one cares, it seems to them, why
should they care what anyone else
is doing and this feeling of apathy'
comes on pretty strong. I don't
think that there's a large group
that centers on apathy at all. It's
a personal feeling that may catch
on to two or three other people: I
still think it stems from the in-dividual
feeling that he's neglected.
BENSON: (Inc more question.
I would like you to give me an as-sessment
of the role of the presi-dent
of the student body? Just
how do you conceive of the function
of this individual on campus?

SA Election
WILKINS: The president, I
think, has to view the entire situa-tion
and realize the different feel-ings
on campus and off. He has
to take into consideration what
feel that it is %cry important
that the people of these different
beliefs and denominations get a
chance to express their views and
interact with other people of other
faiths and circumstances."
students feel, and he has to maneu-ver
his program or his platform
to meet the desires of the many
different people on campus. But
once he's in office, the president be-comes
more of a kicker and a
pusher than anything. His wants
and desires are going to be the
foundation for the work that the
SA does. But once he's voiced these
opinions. I think the president
should step back just a little and
listen to a few other people and let
them build him. Then after they-
've built, he should get back into
things and start pushing people to
get things done.
PALMER: I think in our set-up
here, it is important that the presi-dent
of the SA take on the com-plexion
of the moderator or coor-dinator
of ideas and experiences.
It is his job to know how to chal-lenge
and channel different ideas,
different drives that people have
and experiences so that they may
be meaningful, not only for one
person, but more than one person.
Of course, he is also the repre-sentative
of the student body wher-ever
he goes. Of course, he must
maintain a certain image. This
is what other people will see. He
has the job of selling the school
when he gets out. It is important
that he has faith in the school,
faith in the student government,
because if he doesn't, while I'm
not going to say that it is bad,
other people would think that we
are apathetic and I think this is
important — to he a good salesman
for the school, because we do has,
a lot of good things at North Park

variety of periodicals for the lounge; and act on student suggestions
for improvement of the Center's facilities.
ATHLETIC EVENTS: The need for spirit is important throughout
the year to give support to North Park's athletic program. Therefore,
we intend to expand the budget of the commission to include transporta-tion
for other sports besides football.
We believe that more enthusiasm would be shown in the intramural
program if it was organized on a sectional basis in each dorm. In each
section an A and a B team would give more a chance to participate.
SOCIAL SERVICES: We want to make students more aware of
openings on the North River Commission. This commission has the
potential for greatly improv ing rapport with young people in our
area who are not connected with the College. The North River Com-mission
provides the possible juvenile delinquent with a friend, an
outlet for his emotional turmoil. The student is a source of friend-ship
and understanding which the youth often lacks at home and
among his peers.
We would also like to revitalize the tutoring programs which
have lost support. This service helps to bring the name and meaning
of North Park to the community.
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS: We propose to present the possibility of a
"pass-fail" program to the faculty and administration. This would allow
seniors with a designated GPA to take a course in their major field for
credit but not for a grade. The student would either pass or fail the
course — no letter grade would be given. The object of the "pass-fail"
plan is to enable students to learn because they want to learn, not be-cause
they must learn.
RELIGIOUS LIFE: Christianity is what makes our school unique.
The function of North Park as a Christian college is to help the student
understand his role as a Christian in the world. This understanding is
to be communicated partly through the chapel program.
There have been many complaints about the chapel program this
year. We believe that students desire chapel to be more than just a re-quirement.
We have organized a committee designed to bring the problem
of chapel to representatives from a cross-section of the school. By review-ing
the opinions of these representatives, the committee will perhaps be
able to determine what, if anything, can be done to improve chapel.
An idea we propose is to move the chapel program back to North
Park church. 'the service would be extended until 10 a.m, to give
the chaplain an opportunity to plan a more inspirational service. The
school would be divided into two sections, one to meet on Wednesday
and the other to meet on Friday. We believe that the meaningful
unity of half the College worshiping in a church is better than the
unnoticeable unity of the whole College worshiping in a gym.
We also propose that more money be allotted to the chaplain's fund
to provide for a variety of guest speakers in chapel.
The means to our end of active student government depends upon
you. Our ideas require people to carry them out, people who are deter-mined
to make student government mean more than just 17 letters.

NP Associates
Are Honored
Two North Park alumni and one
present senior in the College have
been honored in recent scholarship
and fellowship competitions.
Mr. Roger N. Pohl, a 1964 gradu-ate
of the College, has been
awarded a Rockefeller Brothers
Theological Fellowship.
This is an all-expense fellowship
for one year, during which the Fel-low
seeks to determine whether
the ministry should be his lifetime
vocation. Fellows may study at
any seminary which is accredited
by the American Association of
Theological Schools. About 70 fel-lowships
are awarded each year.
Pohl has decided to utilize his
fellowship at Yale Divinity School.
Mr. John S. Benson, a 1965
graduate of the College and a pres-ent
student in the Seminary, has
been awarded a full-tuition schol-arship
for next year by Yale Di-vinity
School.
Mr. Karl F. Olsson, a senior in
the College, was selected for hon-orable
mention in the annual Wood-row
Wilson Fellowship program.
Olsson was one of five North Park
nominees in the Wilson competi-tion.

(4) That coed contests be scheduled in volleyball and softi
(5) That there is a need for better publicity of schedules and
an improvement of the referee situation in the present intramural
program.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES — We feel that the SEC has done a good
job in organizing and planning social life on our campus. In light of
our expanding facilities, new responsibilities will be added and some
improvements will have to be made in the total program. We suggest:
(1) Full use and intelligent scheduling of the new auditorium in
the Science-Learning Center when completed.
(2) An increase in the number of class and inter-class-spon-sored
events.
(3) More complete publicity about the cultural opportunities
provided in the city. In conjunction with this, the Fine Arts Com-mission
should publish the many student discount opportunities
available at many spots around town.
(1) That during Freshman Week, upperclassmen come back
early to lead groups of seven to ten freshmen in discussions and
trips around the city in an effort to make them feel more personally
welcomed, and at home in their new surroundings.
SOCIAL SERVICES — North Park students have begun to realize
the satisfaction that comes from helping others. While helping others
with their problems, we ourselves grow and mature, broadening the total
scope of our lives. We aim to provide as many opportunities for activity
of this type as possible through:
(I) Exposing as many students to the opportunity for service
which the North River Commission project affords and encouraging
students to become "Big Brothers and Sisters."
(2) More participation in the Wicker Park, Douglas Park and
Chicago l'arental Home programs.
SPECIAL AREAS OF CONCERN
(1) SMOKING AND DANCING — Currently the Student Senate
has taken action on these two issues by sending them to the Committee
on Dancing, composed of students, faculty, administration and Board
members. We feel that the next step is to approach the Board of Direc-tors
for a definitive statement on the present regulations.
(2) STUDENT BOOK EXCHANGE -- We realize that the College
book store policy does not permit the resale of used books at a reasona-ble
profit to the student. We will set up a student-run book exchange
at which the student may set the sale price of his books. The exchange
would most likely operate during the first week of each term.
(3) RADIO STATION — The new Student Union has a room
set aside for radio use. We will investigate the possibility of working in
conjunction with the speech department to get WNPC going again.
The speech department has already obtained a frequency on the edu-cational
band and is very interested in getting student cooperation to
put the station in operation.

Showing Is Anticipated
Of South African Film
The CBS production of "Apar-theid"
will be shown at NPC Fri-day
evening, April 29, and Sun-day
afternoon, May 1, under the
sponsorship of the International
Relations Commission.
IRC chairman Ed Cucci urges
all North Parkers to see this awak-ening
film on South Africa's seg-regation
policies. Said Cued, "The
mistreatment and savage action
by men against their brothers is
still a common problem with us
today in nations which profess
Christianity as the answer to life's
p roblems."
One-Act Play
Ably Performed
Last Thursday afternoon the
North Park Players, under the di-rection
of Jim Peterson, premiered
their one-act message-comedy, Be
Myself, at the Gerald Wood Chi-cago
Boys' Club. The comedy is
beamed to the interests of the spe-cial
juvenile audience. According
to Peterson, "these children were-n't
raised on Raggedy Ann and
Andy. They know a world of ear-aches
and open fire hydrants."
The original comedy deals with a
young boy's difficulty in being him-self.
Mickey Benson plays the
lead in a cast that includes Peg
Almquist, Dale Tremper, John Gay,
Hedges MacDonald, Jim Peterson
and Don Bunce.
The group's next performance of
this play will be at the Chicago
Parental Home. Says Peterson,
"The only repayment we need is
the smile on those kiddies' faces."

Millard Receives Grant Toward
A Master of Arts in Teaching
Miss Roberta Millard, a senior
English major, has been accepted
into a Master of Arts in Teaching
Program offered jointly by John
Carron University of Cleveland
and the Cleveland public schools.
The program is designed for out-standing
college graduates who
have not completed teacher certifi-cation
requirements and are inter-ested
in teaching disadvantaged
adolescents.
Miss Millard will be taking edu-cation
courses specifically designed
for teachers who will be working
in inner-city schools at the sec-ondary
level. She will also be tak-ing
courses in E nglish to
strengthen her major field.
In addition to an internship sal-ary
of $2,650, Miss Millard will re-ceive
a grant of $1,400. The pro-gram
begins June 20 of this year
and will continue through the sum-mer
of 1967.
The first summer of study will be
divided into two sessions, the first
a workshop of five weeks and the
second a four-week session of
courses in special methods of
teaching specific subjects to disad-vantaged
adolescents. The intern-ship
semester will consist of full-

Better late than nes er . . the News proudly present. the 1966 NP IM
basketball champs — MOC — these serene-looking bombers are from both
the winning A and B squads.
Vikings Pitch, Hit Hard
Lake Forest
They say pitching is 80-85 per
cent of the game ... and as far as
the North Park baseball team is
concerned "there is no doubt about
it." After having their original
starting date postponed by in-clement
weather the Viking nine
opened its 1966 campaign on Mon-day,
April 11, in strong fashion
with a double-header sweep at
Lake Forest. On the strength of
two one-hitters twirled at the For-esters
by Bernie Greene and Rich
Mahoney, the Vikings prevailed
handily, 5-1 and 2-1.
In the opener the hard-throwing
Greene had the old strikeout pitch
going for him as he whipped third
strikes by 16 of the 30 batters he
faced. The senior right-hander was
followed in the second game by
Rich Mahoney, normally a short-stop,
who also limited Lake Forest
to just one hit. During his tour of
duty, he struck out nine.
The Norsemen's offensive punch
was supplied by center-fielder
George Seibel (two hits, one RBI).
catcher Bob Biddle (two hits, two
RBI's), Greene and Mahoney. Bid-dle,
the team captain who is start-ing
his fourth year as the number-one
receiver, also dazzled the fans
with his prowess on the basepaths
as he stole successfully on three oc-casions.
Northwestern
On Wednesday, April 13, the
hard-hitting Vikings went big time
as they took on the Northwestern
Wildcats of the Big Ten Confer-ence.
Behind the strong stick work
of nearly every member the Vi-kings
battled NU to a nine-inning
5-5 stalemate. Action was sus-pended
at that point on account of
darkness, but the Vikings had
played quite a ball game. Forced
to catch up in the early innings,
North Park fought back to take a
lead that lasted until the eighth
frame when the hosts tied it up. As
they had done all afternoon, how-ever,
the Vikings failed to wilt as
Dale Peterson punched a single to
right to knock in Bernie Greene
and give the Vikings a 5-4 lead.
Two questionable calls in the bot-tom
half of the ninth nullified the
chance for victory as the Wildcats
evened the score.
Right-hander Art Benke went
the full distance for North Park
in an encouraging performance.
Several times wildness proved his
undoing, but on other occasions he
was tough to beat. His presence
could and must help the thin Vi-king
mound corps. Southpaw Rich
Fattes should return to action be-fore
the CCI campaign gets under
way on April 23 (at home against
Carroll).
A much-improved hitting ball
club, the Vikings' power was sup-plied
in near-equal fashion as seven
of the starters collected hits.
Outfielders Bill Comstock and
John Papandrea lead the way with
two hits while Peterson, Greene,
Biddle and Warden struck deci-sive
blows.
There is little doubt that this
club can hit and more importantly,
win, but the success still hangs on
the pitching and defense. With
time the defense should become
more polished, but once again
Coach Greene is faced with a slim,
but ready, pitching crew.

NP Golf Team
Has Problems
Victimized by a lack of sufficient
practice time due to miserable
weather conditions, the North Park
Golf Team had definite problems in
its opening two matches. A young
team with only two returning let-termen,
the Viking linksmen
showed considerable improvement
in a 12-6 setback against Circle
Campus last Thursday after a woe-ful
opener against North Central.
However, continued improvement
can be expected as (if) the weather
becomes more conducive to spring
activities. The basis for this opti-mism
stems from the fact that
there was a team improvement of
36 strokes in the two days between
those initial matches. As of now,
Glen Nelson appears to be the most
steady member on a squad com-posed
of one senior, three sopho-mores
and two rookies.

NP Slammed by Augie;
'Things 're Looking Up'
The North Park tennis team lost
its first match of the year to de-fending
CCI champion Augustana,
9-0. All North Park players were
eliminated in two sets as Augie
gave strong evidence that they once
again are the team to beat in the
conference.
The loss, however, occurred only
three days after tennis practice for
our Vikings had begun. This is
not to make excuses, but Augie's
Vikings had had a three-week
warmup before this so-called clash.
Two Mondays ago in a scrim-mage
with ITC, our Vikings im-proved
greatly. Since then they
have beaten North Central 5-4, and
lost in a tri-meet with Carroll and
Lake Forest 7-2, 7-2. Johnson,
Margoni, Erickson and Almquist
won for North Park. At the pres-ent
time, the general feeling is,
Dennis "Rat" Margoni glibly
stated, "Things are looking up."
What more could we ask for?

Time Out
Alas, poor brethren, I am back (at least I hope I am) to haunt yed
from the cozy confines of the last page. Who knows, but perhaps that
bit of April 1 prophecy may have held great truths.
Once again, as the case seems to be every year at this time, tho
spring sports program is beset by various problems. Among these a,.
adverse weather conditions, short but demanding schedules and a gen-eral
slackening in spectator interest. The latter point, I believe, stein.
from a difficult problem of giving sufficient publicity and intention to the
various teams involved. It will be the aim of this page to remedy, ii
possible, this condition in the coming weeks.
Delving into the problem a little bit further, one is able to note
these aspects that lend themselves to the "great spring letdown." Do.•
to the fact that present conditions prohibit home track meets to be
held at North Park, the team is forced to the road for all its com-petition.
This lack of a suitable track also limits the squad greatl)
in practice. Times and performances could well be improved in the
future if an indoor season were added.
Baseball and tennis fortunes fare much better in so far as both ha)
suitable and accessible practice and home sites. The North Park dia-mond,
however, leaves much to be desired as far as the infield is con-cerned.
An addition of clay and dirt would certainly help for a be-ginner.
Sand is for the beach! The proximity of Illinois Teachers'
North offers North Park tennis the use of six good full courts that ena-bles
meets to be run off at a quicker and more efficient pace. The preset:,
college courts are excellent but, due to the size, become highly ove -
crowded and overused. Golf aspirants face hardships that go hand-ie
hand with the sport itself, but have received overdue assistance from the
department.
This by no means is solely a crying session or a general gripe.::
for athletics, hut an attempt to acquaint the observer with the situa-tion
as it exists and some of the factors behind it. I'm tired of has
ing to say that this is not an excuse for losing, but I will say it
again if I must.
The spring places the greatest obstacle and challenge before the
athlete and coach. Don't sell them short with no support.

Near Finish of
New Buildings
The Science and Learning Center
on back campus is proceeding well
on schedule and should be finished
by the tentative deadline of Aug.
10. Besides the nearly finished ex-teriors,
work is well along on the
interiors.
In the lecture hall-auditorium,
the plastering is completed and
nearly all the lights have been in-stalled
with the lone exception be-ing
the stage lights. That section
of the complex will be finished by
late May and will possibly be open
for inspection, although it will not
be used until the entire building
is finished.
In the Science-Learning Tower,
a model classroom is being finished
ahead of schedule for showing and
will be available in late April or
early May. Lathing has been
started on the ground floor of the
Tower, and the elevators will be
operating within a week.
Upon completion in August, the
process of furnishing the building
will begin, although some chemis-try
laboratory furniture will be in-stalled
in late May. Bids for other
equipment, such as for the lan-guage
laboratories, are now open
and decisions should be reached
soon.
The Science-Learning Tower has
received a citation for "Total Effi-ciency
Design" from Contemporary
Design, a trade publication for ar-chitects,
engineers and construc-tion
people.

Ministry Talks
North Park's Third Annual Con-ference
on the Christian Ministry
is scheduled to run from tomorrow
through Sunday, according to an
announcement from Seminary
Dean Donald C. Frisk. The con-ference,
intended for college stu-dents
considering the Christian
ministry as their vocation, begins
with registration on Friday after-noon
and runs through dinner on
Sunday.
Over 200 persons participated in
the 1966 conference, and it is hoped
that a similarly large number will
attend in 1964',. The committee plan-ning
the conference is headed by
the Reverend LeRoy M. Johnson
and includes Dr. Fredrick Holm-gren
and Dr. F. Burton Nelson, as
well as Dean Fisk.
Registration will be held in Ny-vall
Hall between 4 and 6 p.m. to-morrow.
The keynote address of
the conference will be delivered by
President Karl A. Olsson, at 8 p.m.
in Isaacson Chapel.
Major addresses will be given on
Saturday morning by the Reverend
Robert L. Erickson, superintendent
of the Covenant Central Confer-
Conference, and the Reverend
Glenn Wiberg, pastor of the First
Covenant Churc h, Youngstown,
Ohio. They will consider the chal-lenge
of the ministry in contempo-rary
life and the role of today's
minister.
Following the luncheon on Satur-day,
a panel on specialized minis-tries
will discuss the following
areas: world missions, the rural
church, the inner-city church,
Christian education and chaplain-cies.
Representatives of these va-rious
fields will serve on the panel.
At 3 p.m. Saturday Dean Don-ald
C. Frisk will discuss "The Life
of the Seminary." Following his
presentation, a Seminary student
will give his view of the experi-ence
of a Seminarian. These ad-dresses
will be followed by a tour
of the Seminary library and of
Lund House, the apartment build-ing
housing married Seminary stu-dents.
The drama group of the North
Park Covenant Church will pre-sent
a religious drama at 7:30 that
evening. This will be followed at

With the confusion and hilarity
of a Mardi Gras, North Park stu-dents
in convention on Wednesday,
April 13, selected two candidates to
battle each other for the office of
President of the Student Associa-tion.
The mixing of politics and a
social event, started two years ago
in an effort to involve the North
Park student in the affairs of stu-dent
government, again proved
successful, as close to 400 students,
on 59 different delegations, showed
up to scream, speak, demonstrate
and vote for next year's Student
Association President. The con-vention,
which lasted close to five
hours, showed some of the origi-nality
and humor of the students,
who used every effort to brighten
the proceedings, ranging from Ala-bama's
Ku Klux Klanners to Cali-fornia's
"Hell's Angels," to Nava-da's
gamblers and "hostesses."
The first hour of the convention
dealt with the routine and neces-sary
tasks of introductions, reso-lutions
and explanations of pro-ceedings
by permanent chairman
John Hanson. The keynote address,
given by present SA President Jim
Martins, underlined the accom-plishments
of the last two adminis-

trations and expressed the hope for
further advancements.
Seven candidates were nomi-nated
after lengthy "chains" of
states yielding from state to state
around the convention floor. The
seven consisted of Gerry Palmer,
Dan Johnson, Tom Anderson, Ed
Cucci, Brian Wilkins, Merle Harms
and Ernie Lagasse. Of these, An-derson,
Harms and Cocci declined
further advancements.
The voting opened with Ala-bama's
abstention whereupon a
number of delegations followed
suit by abstaining from the voting
and by expressing their sentiment
and reasons, many of which con-cerned
Cucci's decline of the nomi-nation.
The vote after the first
ballot showed a certain disinterest
in the available candidates as 17
delegations had abstained, 18 had
cast their votes for Palmer, 9 for
Lagasse, 8 for Wilkins and 5 for
Johnson.
Since convention rules stated
that each candidate had to receive
more than two-fifths of the availa-ble
votes on the same ballot, the
convention appeared to be hope-lessly
deadlocked with prospects
for a continuation the following
evening looking probable. But be-fore
the second ballot began, Dan
Johnson withdrew from the ballot-and

ing, leaving only three candidates
— Palmer, Wilkins and Lagasse.
The second ballot proved to be
equally inconclusive, but by this
time the delegates were tiring of
the proceedings, and a definite
mood of "let's get it over with"
was detected. The second ballot,
marked by numerous polls of the
individual delegations, resulted
with Palmer receiving 24')2 votes,
Wilkins 15, Lagasse and 10
votes going to Abstain. The con-vention
then quickly moved into

the third and final ballot, which
finally produced two winners. The

With the voting finished, the can-didates
picked their vice-presiden-tial
running-mates and, after
unanimous convention approval, the
evening ended. This Friday will

Dave Johnson against Gerry

Thorburn Gives Recital
Mr. David L. Thorburn
Mr. David L. Thorburn, assistant professor of music, will present
an organ recital this Tuesday evening at 8:15 in the College Chapel.
His program includes "Prelude in E-flat Major" by Johann Sebas-tian
Bach; "Messe Solemnelle a l'usage des Paroisses" by Francois
Couperin; three "Organ Sonatas"

Peterson Stages
Play by Puppets
Miss Margaret Peterson, associ-ate
professor of speech, recently
gave her first presentation of
Everyman, a famous medieval mo-rality
play which she has adapted
for portrayal in a puppet show.
Miss Peterson was a guest per-former
at an oral interpretation
festival at Georgetown College in
Kentucky on March 21. Students
from ten colleges attended the fes-tival.
Since Everyman is a medieval
play, costuming for the puppets is
very elaborate and required much
work and research. Miss Peterson
made all of the puppets and cos-tumes
herself. She has done sev-eral
puppet shows before but none
has involved as much work as
Every man.
Miss Peterson is scheduled for
several more presentations of Ev-eryman
this spring.

THE COLLEGE NEWS Thursday, April 21,
ebitoriat:
It's That Time Again
Yes, folks, it's that tune of the yeat. again. Students are once more
asked to make a decision concerning the North Park College Student
Association and its leaders. Tomorrow's election will determine the
president and vice-president of the NPCSA, as well as 11 of the Senators.
Operating from the premise that student government is, to a certain
extent, worthwhile (which would be a topic for a complete editorial in
and of itself), many people still question the value of voting in this
particular election. Due to a variety of reasons, the choice is viewed by
many as an extremely difficult one. or those who look beyond personali-ties
and attempt to get at the issues, the presidential campaign seems
quite baffling. Either little difference is seen between the positions of
the two nominees, or both are viewed as close friends who would be hurt
if their friends made a decision, or both are seen as unfit for the job.
In an effort to clear up some of the confusion, the News has de-voted
an unprecedented amount of space to the presidential campaign.
Both platforms are presented, and the candidates themselses are in-tersiewed
in an impromptu and unrehearsed session of questioning by
former SA President John Benson. The News has been published the
day before the election to enable students to read these carefully be-fore
making a final decision. We hope they prose helpful to some
of you who are experiencing difficulties in attempting to make a
choice.
To those of you for whom the presidential campaign is still ridi-culous,
we urge you not to stay away from the polls entirely. Contrary
to an unfortunately widespread belief, you do nut have to vote for every
office in order to have your vote counted. If you choose to ignore the
presidential campaign, you do not forfeit your right to vote in the Sena-torial
campaign.
We suggest that those of you who are disenchanted with the presi-dential
campaign either ignore that election or else utilize your right,
under the procedures of the Australian ballot, to write in another presi-dential-
vice-presidential team.
The important thing to realize at this point Is that a strong and
effective Senate is every bit as important as a strong and effectise
president. A good Senate can make or break a president, backing
him up actively on his good ideas and prosing an effective opposition
to his less-than-good ideas. An active Senate can be a source of
ideas itself, and it is the place of differing opinions to be expressed.
We feel that the Senatorial campaign this year offers an unusu-ally
fine assortment of potential leaders. It would be a shame to
ace some of the best of these not elected simply because people de-cided
to stay away from the polls due to their dissatisfaction with
the presidential nominees.
We hope that you will be able to come to a decision regarding the
presidential candidates and give one of them your support. However, if
you feel that you cannot honestly support either of the candidates, then
we must urge you not to neglect the important Senatorial races. Read
the platforms, talk to the candidates, and cast your vote intelligently.
Next year's Senate depends on it.

Students Attend Conference at UN
(Tuesday, April If, 36 North Porkers left the grassy Spaulding
Avenue for the asphalt paths of Midtown Manhattan, site of the United
Nations. The expedition, under the patient guidance of Dr. and Mrs.
Robert 0. Byrd and Mr. Vernon Wettersten, was the result of months of
planning, letter writing and fund soliciting by Dr. Byrd. The following
is an evaluation of the trip as seen by two News reporters who were on
the trip. — Ed.)
It is impossible to convey the awe of standing before the concrete
presence of what was formerly a myth propigated by Walter Cronkite,
Cogle, the John Birch Society and the bumper-ticker makers.
Our introductory meeting with Mr. Erick Walter of the Secretariat
Staff signaled the fact that this was no ordinary tourist's visit, for we
began with a discussion of some thorny problems and were surprised to
discovcr how little we really knew about the U.N.
To those who tend to place the U.N. on the level of God, mother-hood
and the flag, it came as a surprise to learn that the U.N. is
unashamedly a political organization, dealing with practical problems
of power. This is reflected within its own organization in such mat-ters
as the relationships between the General Assembly, the Security
Council and the Secretariat. One skirmish in this struggle was the
Soviet and French refusal to pay certain assessments. (Interestingly,
some of those we talked with indicated that the U.S. lost very little,
if anything.)
Our sessions with various governmental representatives and U.N.
personnel produced a spirit of openness and a willingness to talk about
controversial matters in specific terms.
Perhaps the highpoint of the trip was a meeting with His Excel-lency
Joseph T. F. Iyalla, Deputy Permanent Representative of Nigeria
to the U.N. Mr. Iyalla, a personal friend of Dr. Byrd, spoke about the
problems confronting his nation and its relationship to the United
States. While his open appeal for constructive criticism from the
United States as a mark of true friendship surprised us, his comment
that the United States was unwilling to accept helpful criticism fi-om
others about Viet Nam did not. Undoubtedly his confession that his
people were extremely frustrated when independence failed to solve all
their problems impressed us, not only for its truth, but for the ability of
a diplomat to admit problems within his own country.
Indeed, it was this ability which marked most of our sessions.
For instance, Mr. S. A. Pasha, First Secretary of the Mission of Pakis-tan
to the U.N., quite openly indicated that the problem in the Kash-mir
crisis was in fact due to the failure of both India and Pakistan to
live up to agreements made years ago. Even Valentin Vadimovich Lo-zinski,
Second Secretary to the Soviet Embassy, talked frankly about
the Sino-Soviet split. Only M. Jean Noel de Bouillane de !Amite,
secretary of the French Mission to the U.N., and Mr. John F. Baker,
Jr., senior advisor on Political and Security Council Affairs for the
United States, failed to convey a spirit of complete openness, Mr.
Baker being the worst offender. On the whole, our impression was
Vox Populi
Dear Editor:
We would like to express our in-debtedness
to Dr. and Mrs. Byrd;
to Mr. Wetterson; to Mr. Cucci and
to the administration for making
possible our recent visit to the
United Nations.
Knowing that this trip involved
much label- by many people, we
nevertheless would like to recog-nize
Dr. Byrd for his vast pre-liminary
and follow-through work.
without which we would not have
had the valuable sessions with the
representatives of Pakistan, Nige-ria,
the United States, the Union
of Soviet Socialist Republics,
France, the Trusteeship Council
and the Economic Council for Asia
and the Far East.
While we each possess our per-sonal
memories of this journey, we
agree that the academic value of a
concrete confrontation with the
United Nations and its peoples has
yielded a broader view of its sig-nificant
activities than possible to
obtain in the classroom.
One of the many things we
gained was an awareness of the im-plications
of recognizing the Peo-ples
Republic of China as the rep-resentative
of the 700 million
people within its borders.

were genuinely dedicated to
the United Nations and its ac-tivities.
Thursday night we heard from

the Quaker United Nations Pro-gram.
The two representatives told
us that their part is merely to ex-press
a non-governmental point of
view on certain issues. The vari-ous
n.g.o.'s are allowed to speak in
the General Assembly if the mem-ber
states agree that there is
enough time. Most of the n.g.o.'s
receive their support from large
corporations interested in the issue
they are backing.
In the realm of the less political
9r non-political activities of the
Secretariate, we met with M. Phil-ippe
L. de Nouy, second secretary
of the Trusteeship Council, the
Fourth Committee, and the Com-mittee
of 24. Most of his works
dealt with the problem of old colo-nial
territories as they became in-dependent.
One can only speculate
as to what the struggles of the
emerging nations has meant to him
personally because several of his
personal friends were assassinated
due to the political upheavals of
the newly independent nations.
In addition, we were intro-duced
to the Mekong River
Project by Mrs. Ruth Marshall
of the Economic Council for
Asia and the Far East. Her
discussion of this project re-vealed
the capabilities of the
U.N. to help make life better
in Southeast Asia through the
detailed taming of a river.
These and similar projects by
other United Nations agencies
comprise the unpublished bulk
of U.N. activity.
Thus ending the business of the
trip, we had only to think of the
pleasure. Friday night we had the
privilege of seeing IFIertolt Brecht's

Lincoln Center, where it was play-ing,
was a thrill in itself.
In the "Caucasian Chalk Circle,"
patterned after the Solomon epic,
Brecht concerns himself with the
question of the right to ownership

Dear Editorial Board:
I feel that your editorial "Edu-cation
vs. Athletics Reviewed"
failed to represent the North Park
athletic situation fairly. In de-fense
of our athletic policies I
should like to disagree with four of
your charges.
(I) The North Park student does
care about athletics. It is sup-ported
better than any other extra-curricular
activity. It is difficult to
imagine a caravan of 200 students
journeying all the way to Rock Is-land
to attend the Lecture and Art-ist
Series, the winter banquet or
even Fools-a-go-go, but this actu-ally
happened for the Augustana
football game.
(2) Students will not attend
games with the same regularity
whether we win or lose. Two years
ago we went through our CCI bas-ketball
schedule winning only one
of twelve games. In the past two
seasons our CCI home record has
been 9-3. The attendance this
year was nearly double that of two
years ago. Sports illustrated
(March 7, 1966) states that in ma-jor
league baseball the difference
between first place and a second-division
finish is at least a 300,0i
attendance drop.
(3) Your statement that schotti
honor and concern for it "seems to
have gone out with the raccoon
coat" is completely unfounded. I
cite our last home basketball game
of the season against Augustans
to best illustrate this point. Any-one
prose'., could sense from tht
opening tap an intense desire to
win, and we of the student body
felt tremendous pride after secur-ing
the victory. As we walked
proudly from the gym that night.
the honor of our school was still
very important to us.
(4) Your recommendation to
cease all athletic grants in aid
would sorely hurt our school. Coe-trary
to the view of your editorial,
the boy who is an athlete contrib-utes
a great deal to school spirit.
Winning athletic teams also attract
prospective students. It is only
the fields of music and athletics
that North Park students have /Ia.l
an extensive opportunity to repre-sent
the school. Even as we do nut
wish to send out a second-rate
choir neither can we be satisfied
with inferior athletic teams.
I would invite you, the authors
of the editorial, to spend just or
season on any of our teams before
levelling further accusations. The
opportunity is there, because of our

Thursday, April 21, 1966 THE COLLEGE NEWS Page 3
Friday's SA Election Pits Palmer against Wilkins for SA Prexy
! oohing over possibilities for future Senate action, presidential hopeful
raid Palmer discusses specific items of their platform with his running-
'lhomas B. Anderson.
Palmer's Platform Urges Unity
Of Three Contributing Factions
by Gerald C. Palmer and Thomas B. Anderson
The process of higher education in which we all are involved is one
cf constant exposure to new things, new ideas and new experiences.
Every student, every member of the faculty and administration has dif-ferent
contributions to make to our college experience. They must exist
as a unified force upon the individual student in order for his experience
here to be complete. Thus it is the task of student government and its
leaders to coordinate student activities and promote cooperation between
the students, faculty and administration.
It is also the task of student government to effectively represent
student opinion. Therefore we believe student government is a place
where both majority and minority opinions can be fairly represented.
Student government most also look beyond iself, striving not
only to serve itself, but the whole College community.
Operating on the premise that we would like to make our exprience
here at North Park as enriching as possible, we wish to build on the
progressive traditions of the past and improve the existing services pro-vided
by student government, and while the following ideas do not pre-sent
alternatives which will make student government perfect, we feel
they will encourage both growth and maturity.
RELIGIOUS LIFE — There are over 30 different denominations and
faiths represented on our campus. To serve the multiple needs of our
heterogeneous student body, a diversified program is necessary. In this,
an attempt would be made to promote interaction and dialogue among
students of differing beliefs and backgrounds.
We are concerned with maintaining a healthy Christian atmosphere,
for we feel that spiritual growth is most vital to the growth of a mature
individual. To promote this atmosphere of Christian maturity, we intend
to utilize the Religious Life Commission to its fullest potential. To
achieve these ends, we propose the following:
(1) That the Religious Life Commission, in conjunction with the
haplain's Office and the Administration, clear up the presently vague
chapel attendance requirement by possibly stating, for example, that
there are 21 chapels per term and students must attend all but five.
We also intend to approach the Administration about giving the
Chaplain a larger budget, making possible more outside speakers.
(2) That the Religious I.ife Commission investigate the possi-bility
of getting some sell-known speakers to come to our campus,
such as Wilkerson, author of The Cross and the Switchblade.
(3) That we will work to get more individuals involved in the
fellow ship ser. ices and continue in and improve upon the tradition
of meaningful services which we have had in the past year,
(I) That the Religious Life Commission seek to augment the
devotional programs in the dorms, by• bringing in various seminarians
and faculty members.
(5) That Isaacson Chapel be open each morning for prayer and
private devotion.
INTERCOLLEGIATE AFFAIRS — Student government has an ob-
,zation first to the student body which it represents, and second to
students of other campuses. By sharing with students from other schools
we may lend them something of ourselves and conversely we may re-ceive
new ideas and insights, thus helping us to expand and mature.
Ti, increase this communication, we propose the following:
(I) Full use of the NSA informational resources, and participa-tion
in those activities of the organization in which we may both give
and receive ideas.
(2) More active participation in the MCG1 Midwest College
Government Association, composed of schools similar to North Park
in size and nature, such as the CCI college and other such schools in
the Illinois-Wisconsin area. Because of the smallness of the organi-zation
and the commonality of the schools in it, we feel we can
obtain free and meaningful communication about problems and ideas
which are pertinent, in some measure, to all participating schools.
The MCGA can also provide:
A. Drama and art exchanges (a possible way to cover the bare
walls of our Student Union).
B. A possible pool of chapel and convocation speakers.
C. Concert group exchanges.
D. A hosteling program in which students visiting our city
could stay on our campus, and of course the same service would be
provided at other schools in the association.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS -- As American citizens, we have
an obligation to our country and to the world in which we live. The
insecure position of nation, intense doctrinal rivalry, war, despair and
death force each one of us to be concerned. To instill the reality of
this situation and educate students about current world problems, we
propozc the following:
(Continued on Page 4)
The 1966 North Park College
Student Association elections will
be held tomorrow between the
hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Students whose last names begin
with the letters A through L will
vote in the Library, while students
with names beginning with the let-ters
M through 2 will cast their
ballots in the Student Union.
Slated for election are a presi-dent
and vice-president of the SA
and 11 senators — four each from
the future senior and junior classes
and three from next year's sopho-more
class.
All present full-time students
(defined in the Constitution as, one
who is "enrolled in a program of
not less than two course units")
are eligible to vote. Present sen-iors
will be permitted to vote only
for the presidential-vice-presiden-tial
teams; present f r es hme n.
sophomores and juniors will be per-mitted
to vote for president and
vice-president in addition to the
senators from their own class.
The election climaxes a week and
a half of campaigning which began
on Wednesday, April 13 with the
third annual NPCSA Nominating
Convention. (See Page 1.)
Pages 3 through 6 of this week's
News offer other election news.
Sketches of Candidates'
Past Services Divulged
This week's election features
four diverse candidates, hailing
from different parts of the country
and all exhibiting a record of great
involvement in the activities of
this campus.
Palmer — Anderson
Gerald C. Palmer is a junior
from Cleveland, Ohio. He has
served as class senator for the past
three years and has served on a
number of important committees,
including the Senate Nominating
Committee, where he was chair-man,
and the Viet Nam Resolution
Committee. He has been on the
wrestling team for two years, and
has served as an officer in the Let-termen's
Club. Palmer is major-ing
in history, with a minor in psy-chology.
He plans to teach upon
graduation.
Thomas B. Anderson is a junior
from Rockford, Ill. During the
last year he has served as senator
from his class. Other positions in
student government include two
years as a member of the Athletic
Affairs Commission and chairman
of the R.M.A. Athletic Committee.
He has been on both the golf team
and the swimming team, and has
served as treasurer of Lettermen's
Club. He is majoring in both his-tory
and economics, and upon
graduation may enter the semi-nary.
Wilkins — Johnson
Brian Wilkins is a junior from
East Long Meadow, Mass. For the
hist year, he has been vice-presi-dent
of the Student Association
and has served as presiding officer
of the senate meetings. He has
also served on the Social Events
Commission and has been co-ordi-nator
of Freshman Week. He has
also been sports editor of the Cu-pola.
Wilkins is majoring in Eng-lish
and minoring in history, anti
upon graduation plans to teach in
secondary education.
David L. Johnson is also a junior
and comes from Omaha, Neb. He
has served as chairman of the
Campus Center Commission this
year and has been a member of and
chairman of the Fine Arts Com-mission.
He has also been a mem-ber
of the Drama Club. Johnson
is majoring in English and minor-ing
in music and plans to continue
his studies in graduate school upon
leaving North Park.
Trying out President Jim Martins' desk for size and planning executive
duties are Brian Wilkins and his vice-presidential candidate David J.
Johnson.
Wilkins Emphasizes Importance
Of Commissions in SA Actions
by Brian Wilkins and David Johnson
The college student is presented with many facets of life: relation-ships
with a variety of people, new and changing ideas, and growth that
comes from living in a different environment. A maturing process of
the individual, finding his place in the total college experience, is a process
which is reflected in all the student's association and experiences. The
SA is concerned with the individual student.
Through communication established between students, faculty
and administration, student opinions and ideas are presented. But
this communication should progress beyond the campus to include
active involvement in the community. We can best benefit ourselves
by benefiting others. Thus, communication of ideas and opinions is a
major goal of student government.
The major communicating force of student government is the Senate.
The Senate is an effective body, representing student opinion, which pre-sents
these opinions to the faculty anti administration. We plan to set up
a Student Association display with pictures of the senators and SA offi-cers,
so that students might know who their representatives are. We also
encourage the use of polls, as some senators did this year, to sample
student opinion.
We believe that in the ten commissions lies the greatest potential
for active student government. In the past two administrations the
tremendous value of the commissions has begun to he realized. l'resi-dent
Martins met once a week with all of the commission chairmen to
discuss common and individual problems, to make sure that each
commission channeled its powers most effectively, to promote inter-action
of commissions, and to establish a sense of unity and involve-ment
in the Student Association.
The commissions affect, in part, almost every aspect of campus
life, and are not to be underrated. It is the commissions which plan
the social program, publicize the city's cultural events, organize sup-port
for athletic events, sponsor Fellowship and many other activi-ties.
Thus we pledge our support to the commissions.
Our plans for the commissions are:
SOCIAL EVENTS: The social events this year have begun to satisfy
the need for a broader social program on campus. The "traditional"
programs were enlivened, and, in addition, a fresh interest in student par-ticipation
was discovered. This interest was manifest in the volleyball
tournament and in the square dances. We encourage continuation and
expansion of this kind of activity.
We propose to encourage the various campus clubs and organizations
to take an active part in the social program by sponsoring their own ac-tivities
within the general social events curriculum. In this way, we hope
to involve more students in the planning of social programs.
INTERCOLLEGIATE AFFAIRS: Outside of athletic events,
North Park has little contact with neighboring schools. Unfortu-nately,
each school stands isolated, and little attempt at communica-tion
has been made. To improve our relations with other schools, to
broaden our awareness of student problems and to enrich our social
and cultural programs we propose an active intercollegiate exchange
program.
The Midwest ('ollege Government Association (Mt GA) is an or-ganization
of schools similar in size to North l'ark. struggling with
this problem of intercollegiate communication. Through North Park's
support of the BCGA a mutual benefit will he realized in this area.
There are many conflicting opinions in the Senate about the value
of the National Student Association (NSA) to the North l'ark Stu-dent
Association. It is true that North Park can have little to say
in this organization which contains so many larger schools. We be-lieve
that MCGA would be of greater benefit to ourselves and to
others. But the knowledge of and willingness to use NSA materials
which apply to our SA should not he disdained.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: An exciting start to the newly
formed International Relations Commission was its sponsoring of the
United Nations trip to New York this spring. To learn more about
the workings of our national government and about the history of and
policy in specific international affairs is a goal of this commission. We
propose to make sure that the knowledge of this commission is presented
to the student body through the Coll, ge News, anti through open discus-sion
of world events. Guest speakers should be brought in from time to
time to provide outside opinion on major issues and to increase the in-terest
in the commission.
CAMPUS CENTER: Although the Campus, Center does not lend
itself to all-school activities, we feel that it does provide valuable
services. We will expand these services, e.g., more bicycles and
tsndems. more chess and pool competition and a greater number arid

Presidential Candidates Express Hopes in News Interview
(Ed. note: In an effort to determine more adequately the various
opinions and positions held by the two major candidates for president
of S.4, the COLLEGE NEWS decided to conduct interviews with them. The
candidates were asked the same questions in separate interviews; their
responses are juxtaposed below for the benefit of readers wishing to com-pare
and contrast them.
Asking the questions for the Mews was Mr. John S. Benson, presi-dint
emeritus of the North Park College Student Association. Benson
currently enrolled in the Seminary.
The NEWS expresses special thanks to Miss Sue Carlson, Miss Mari-lyn
Wend( and Mrs. 0. C. Whisler, who transcribed the tape recordings
of the interviews.)
by John S. Benson
BENSON: What do you think is the specific function of a plat-form
and how do you plan to go about putting the specific planks of
your platform into effect?
PALMER: I feel that you could cover a lot of your ideas and aspira-tions
verbally, but I think it helps the people to decide which candidate to
vote for. I also feel that by putting it down in writing, you sort of
commit yourself and you feel that you have some sort of an obligation
to fulfill some of these promises.
Obviously, there are things in the platform everyone isn't going to
agree with. I feel I would try to implement and get these ideas going
through people whom I would appoint in the Senate and through the
commissions.
WILKINS: First of all, the platform presented to the student body
gives representations of the feelings of the presidential candidates and
their accomplishments and tries to list some of the things that the presi-dent
and his vice-president would like to see come into effect.
Now in my platform, I have tried to explain why I would like to see
the campus and the college extend itself into the community and the sur-rounding
area of North Park, specifically in contacts with the North
River Commission. Now, to get this program into effect, we've built
around a "benefitting ourselves by benefitting others" idea and specifically
using social activities, social services, athletic events — all in coordina-tion
with one another; working to unify ourselves, yet spreading our-selves
out to the community and to the people in the at-ca.
BENSON: Can you think of some specific difficulties which the
student government has had in the past? What concrete solutions do
you have to deal with these problems?
WILKINS: The problem has been on and off-campus participation
together. We haven't come right out and said this this year in our plat-form,
because we felt that this past year much of this had been taken
care of. All the commissions had active on and off-campus students on
them, and working with the on-campus students many of the problems
which had come up in the commissions before were solved and a lot of
the stress and strain had been taken off the system that this commission
tried to put forth as far as bringing the two factions together.
Of course, there is always the problem of apathy and this is a trite
expression; I don't like the word at all, but it is a problem.
Social events has, I think, taken care of itself. I don't think there
has to be anything mentioned about this.
But as far as social services go, the students of North Park don't
realize the opportunity that they have here, and this is the problem with
communication, or the fact that they just don't realize that it is present
at all.
We must also try to generate enthusiasm in these areas — in re-ligious
life. Many of the students that are upperclassmen now have lost
interest altogether in chapel. They feel that there is nothing that can be
done with chapel. But we think there is, and we would like to see what
their opinions on them are.
PALMER: I think that this might be connected with the question of
apathy to a certain extent; apathy about student government. As you
well know, every once in a while there are a lot of people who feel that
student government is just a lot of kids who think they are important,
and play around. This is why I would like to get people to feel that
student government is something more than this.
One thing I, myself, would like to do in this respect is to try to start
some sort of policy with office hours. You mentioned that one of the
problems which you had to deal with was that people didn't come in to
see you. I feel that I would view office hours as being primarily a time
when I could get my own work done. Secondly, people could come to see
me, but I would try to consider my job to be more getting out of the
office to visit people and find out what they are doing.
I don't think that people should come to the president with all their
problems: they should come to the senators. People don't come to the
office and say, "I have a problem," or "How should I do this," or "What's
the best method," but they should come to the senators who come to the
Senate and we can work this out collectively. In my position, I would
coordinate these ideas and bring them down and focus them into some
type of action.
Values and Functions
BENSON: I would like you to gis e a realistic and honest assess-ment
of some of the basic points and values and functions of the Stu-dent
Association on the North Park campus.
PALMER: As long as we don't have fraternal organizations at
North Park, the student government should encompass all, or nearly
all, of that which a fraternal set-up would take. I suppose you can say
this centers around the social sphere, but, more realistically speaking,
I would like to think of the student government as being something that
would provide meaning — where people of different viewpoints, different
opinions and different experiences could come and share these experi-ences
through the activity which the Student Association does promote.
I think this is the core of our college experience — experiencing new
things and changes in your own attitude about different things and other
viewpoints and about life in general.
WILKINS: The Student Association has its ten commissions, and
this is basically what we are for this year. I think this is our strongest
point. The commissions themselves bring forth different interests that all
students have.
Many students are concerned with religious life on our campus and
the Student Association gives these kids a chance to participate actively
in Fellowship. We hope to have a word in what they want in chapel,
and so on. It brings this faction of the student body closer to what
"Now, to get this program into ef-fect,
we've built around a "bene-fitting
ourselves by benefiting oth-ers'
idea . . . spreading ourselses
out to the community and to the
people in the area."
they are interested in.
Social events is another part of
the Student Association and this
brings in more interest for differ-ent
students. Athletic events is
another one.
These commissions bring an in-terest
into the student body so
that these students realize what
they can do in their various areas.
Through these commissions that
are organized a lot of pushing can
be done and so many of these stu-dents
will come through.
BENSON: Last Wednesday night,
on the last ballot, one of the dele-gations
abstained because they felt
that none of the remaining candi-dates
would adequately represent
the off-campus students. You have
chosen as your running-mate an on-campus
fellow. My question is,
"W hat account are you taking of
the ,off-campus students in your
campaign platform and plans for
the year? How do you claim to
and plan to represent the whole stu-dent
body?"
WILKINS: This past year, all
the commissions had an off-cam-pus
representative. I know that
all these off-campus representatives
participated vigorously and helped
our programs very much in these
different areas. Now in our plat-form
there isn't that much about
off-campus students, basically be-cause
we've tried to leave in this
continuum plan from last year and
we've trusted the off-campus stu-dents
to see that we're catering to
them just as much as we are to
anyone else. This push on the so-cial
services commission, working
with the youngsters in the area,
this is open to as many people as
are needed to comply with the de-mand,
and actually the majority
of the people who work on this are
off-campus students.
As far as catering to them any-more
than anyone else, the union
this year has provided an excellent
opportunity for both factions to
come together and I don't think
there's the division that there used
to be when MOC had their lounge
and we had ours. This has done
an overwhelming amount of equal-izing,
and I don't thing that there's
this huge faction anymore. And
I'm not concerned with it.
PALMER: Obviously, the school
is unique in the fact that we have
a large number of students com-muting,
and while I feel that it is
obviously a cleft between the stu-dents
who are on and off-campus,
I feel that there are a great many
other interests that students will
have whether they are on or off-campus.
These things will unify
both on and off-campus students,
and this is what we are trying to
do — to provide a wide spectrum of
things which kids will be inter-ested
in, such as international re-lations,
intercollegiate affairs, re-ligious
life — not to say we are
going to down-play social events,
but we feel that those who are off-campus
have gone to high schools
around here, and that they still
associate with their high school
friends, the friends they have
around home. They have social
loyalties here and they have di-vided
interests; whereas for the
kids on campus, this is the extent
of their social life.
I feel that through providing
things other than that, there would
be more on which to base our at-tempts
to unify on and off-campus
students than just social things.
BENSON: The Union has been
open for half a year now. How
would you esaluate its program?
V1 hat are the good and had points
of it?
PALMER: I think the tradi-tional
Union program at most
schools is a social program. Some
of the schools I have been in, usu-ally
the social director is pretty
intrinsically involved with the ac-tivities
of the Union and a lot of
times they are the same persons.
When it comes right down to it,
our Union is not constructed in
such a way that we can have such
collective social experiences within
the complex of the building.
I personally feel that it has
helped the on-campus — off-cam-pus
community. Of course, a lot
of the off-campus kids would go
home at night and they don't have
a whole lot of reason to hang
around the Union, whereas the
kids on campus get out of the li-brary
at 10 o'clock and they have
half an hour — and where are they
going to go? To the Union, of
course.
I think that there have been
more off-campus kids staying
around mixing with the on-campus
students at that time and during
the day — using the listening room,
the pool room and the TV room.
Of course, you can question how
much communication people have
when they are watching TV.
WILKINS: One of the bad
points is that the money which
has been used in the Union this
year has all been under adminis-trative
control. The SA actually
has not functioned that closely
with the Union financially. This
is a very weak point, when the
Union has to rely on the adminis-tration
to get anything at all.
They've been able to get a maga-zinc
subscription, and that's about
all on their own.
The blank walls in the Union
are a large concern to many people,
but if we have an art thing in there
that's insured, it has to be guarded
24 hours a day, and the building
has to be locked and all this other
business and so it's ridiculous. Un-til
the Union can come into the
SA more, and we can work with
them as far as money matters go,
it's going to remain a little hit
remote.
As far as the programs that are
going to take place in the Union,
it's just getting on its feet now.
In this next year it's going to play
an awfully important part in post-game
activities, especially during
the basketball season when there',
such a lag in social status.
NSA and MCGA
BEAsso.N.: What do you think are
the %aloes and the role of the NSA
(National Student Association) on
the North Park campus?
WILKINS: Well, NSA has been
very remote thus far in relation to
NP, and many people say we don't
have the contact that we should
have with the NSA or any organi-zation
that they belong to. How-ever,
I don't think we've availed
ourselves of the different materials
(Continued on Page 5)
"I would like to think of the stu-dent
government as being some-thing
that would provide meaning
— where people of different view -
points . . . could come and share
these experiences through the ac
tivity which the Student Associa-tion
does promote."
Palmer Platform --
(Continued fr,in Page :;)
(1) That the International Affairs Commission schedule speak-ers
to visit our campus and discuss pertinent world problems.
(2) That the Commission sponsor more tours to places such as
Washington, D.C.
(3) That the Commission sponsor open forums, debates and
possibly teach-ins, about issues of international concern, with the
purpose of stimulating and educating.
FACULTY-STUDENT-ADMINISTRATION RELATIONS — A to-tal
college experience is a collective thing, demanding participation from
students, faculty and administration. In the interest of making all three
better working units of this team we feel it imperative that the student,
have good communication with the faculty and administration. To im•
prove and encourage these relations and relationships, we propose:
(1) More faculty involvement in student life by encouraging
active participation in student productions, such as the College News
and some social events.
(2) Representation on some of the sarious faculty committees,
such as the curriculum and academic standards committees.
(3) Better use of teacher evaluations, such as the one recently
taken. To be an effective vehicle of constructive criticism, the evalua-tion
must be comprehensise and the teachers must receise a repre-sentative
sampling of opinion, a fault of the last evaluation.
(4) Talks given by the heads of the various departments on
the theme of, "What you can do with your major."
ATHLETICS — We feel that the athletic program at North Pars
is growing and expanding. Entry into the CCI has forced us to recruit
and thus increase the quality of our teams. While we are firmly behind
each varsity team we also feel a need to provide an adequate oppor-tunity
for those interested individuals who are not on varsity teams to
participate. The present intramural program is good but can use some
improvement. We have five specific proposals in this area.
(1) That the Athletic Events Commission publicize each game
and meet for all Varsity competition.
(2) That support for away contests he increased, the costs of
transportation to be partially subsidized by the Student Association.
(3) That the Spirit Week activities be continued.

Palmer, Wilkins
(Contiiued from Page I)
that they're offering us. When
o r representatives come back,
seine of them are energetic, some
ef them are sick of the whole thing,
but they don't really present the
different programs that the NSA
has offered especially for small
colleges.
I think that we should concen-t
--a: v more on the programs that
•• y have for us, rather than try-to
build ourselves up to fit
Ale university. I think that this
awfully important to seek.
PALMER: I feel that NSA has
alething to contribute to our
tool, or to any school. Some of
ti c literature which we get from
's -A at times I feel is superfluous.
At other times there are some
ttiings and programs which they
have that are valuable and from
▪ hich we might glean some meth-ods
and ideas which might be use-ful
to us here and in going to the
conferences where you can inter-act
with tither students.
BENSON: What about the
MCGA?
PALMER: The association as
such — well, looking at it realis-tically,
I suppose you could say it
is sort of defunct. It has run down
most likely due to the fact that the
person in charge of it last year
didn't do his job. A new president
has been elected who is very en-thusiastic
about it. Because there
are fewer people in the organiza-tion,
communication will probably
be a little easier. North Park can
both contribute and gain quite a
bit from the MCGA. Anybody who
has been to other schools and vis-ited
their student governments
would perhaps realize that North
Park is eons ahead of many of
them and in this respect we can
contribute quite a bit to their set-ups
while they try to solve prob-lems
that we are already solving.
Also, I think if we can interact
with other schools, maybe some
other school has successfully solved
a situation and we can follow their
methods instead of just trying to
glove things ourselves.
WILKINS: Well, the MCGA, I'm
partial to, mainly because it's a
struggling organization and it's
composed of schools such as ours.
I think that our SA has grown
enough in these past three or four
years to enable itself to become a
figurehead in this MCGA. I think
North Park would benefit itself by
'enefitting others through the
MCGA and through helping the
,,tudent associations to realize their
'dentia] also.
Most Important Issues
BENSON: What do you think are
the issues in this campaign? How
do you differ on these issues from
your opponent? I'm not asking for
any personal critique or mud-sling-
;rig; there's enough of that anyway
m any campaign. Rather, I would
'ike an evaluation of why the cam-paign
is important, what issues you
are dealing with: are these issues
unique, is the campaign worth get-ting
excited about, is it worth vot-ing
in?
PALMER: I think contained in
this question is the element of how
much personal interest we, Tom
and I, have in certain issues and
how much personal interest Dave
and Brian have in certain issues. I
think one important issue in this
campaign is the idea of the Inter-national
Relations Commission
which was just created. I think this
is a great step forward. Aø you
know, the Danforth Foundation has
made studies of small colleges and
found it has been characteristic
of colleges like ours that they tend
to just reflect upon themselves and
they don't grapple with more over-reaching
problems, world Prob-lems,
international problems. I
think this is something of an opin-ion
that we can use to get our-
Discuss
out of our iltlie capsule; out
of our shell.
I think another important issue
is the religious aspect of school.
North Park is in the Covenant tra-dition;
we have a predominantly
Covenant complexion, let's say. But
we have to recognize that there are
about 37 different denominations
and faiths represented on our cam-pus.
I feel that it is very impor-tant
that the people of these dif-ferent
beliefs and denominations
get a chalice to express their views
and interact with other people of
other faiths and circumstances.
I think another important issue
that Toni and I are really inter-ested
in is in intercollegiate af-fairs.
This is another way in
which we can sort of get away
from our own campus.
WILKINS: I realize that Gerry
and I are probably pretty close as
far as a lot of these things go. A
lot of people have said this to me
and may wonder, I know, why
couldn't they get some radical in
there so they could have voted
against him? I'm not sure that
either of us has heard each other
speak except for our acceptance
speeches, where I did strike out on
this community project with the
North River Commission. I know
that he didn't mention this, but
his speech was pretty idealistic, I
think.
This issue is our most important.
Next, the religious life as far as
chapel goes. We'd like to get a
cross-section of the campus, talk
to students who don't go to chapel,
students who wouldn't miss it, and
come to some agreement on this.
BENSON: Somewhat related to
this question is the one -- is stu-dent
government ans- different at
North Park because it is a church -
related school than it might he at a
secular campus?
"I think that any student a ho's
been here for more than a scar
realizes that there's something go-ing
for him. It might be academic,
it might be sports, it might be re-ligion,
but there is some faction in
the school which pleases the person
or else he wouldn't stay here."
WILKINS: Well, because North
Park is church-related, many of the
problems which may come up, as
against the secular campus, would,
of course, be different because of
the way it operates. Here at NP,
I don't think it's largely that dif-ferent.
I know I've talked to kids
from home who've gone to large
universities and their complaint is
that they never see who's on the
SA anyway. All they are interested
in is the frats or their houses, or
so on. They have no interest, they
never vote for an election; they
don't know who's running anyway.
In this aspect, it's different. It
isn't because it's church-related;
it's because of its size. Other than
the fact that there are certain limi-tations
put down by the church for
the school, I don't see why stu-dent
government is actually dif-ferent
from a secular campus.
PALMER: Obviously, you can't
THE COLLEGE NEWS Page S
Issues of Tomorrow's
say that student government is
more moral because this is a Chris-tian
campus. I think that because
the school has been brought up in
the Christian tradition, it is the
job and obligation and duty —
and somewhat of a challenge — to
the student government to provide
opportunities in which students
may have a Christian experience
and interact with other faiths to
grow and develop.
Policy Changes
BENSON: How large a part do
you think the Student Association
should play in effecting policy
changes on the North Park cam-pus?
I have in mind here such
things as dancing, smoking, house,
etc.
PALMER: I feel that students
do have a definite say in what
goes on in policies. The faculty
sets up certain programs: how
they'll teach, when they'll teach,
and the different methods. This
tends to be a sort of one-way com-munication
and I think it is im-portant
for students to interact
with faculty, letting them know
how they feel about their methods,
how they may improve things like
this.
Policies like dancing and smok-ing
— one thing you du have to
remember in situations like these
is that the Board of Directors and
the Administration do have the
final say on this and I feel that
these two issues are not tangled
up, but they are involved in the
tradition of the Covenant and cer-tain
attitudes and changes come
into the school and exist now. While
recognizing this, I think the pres-ent
rules on smoking and dancing
must be clarified and this is the
obligation of the Board of Direc-tors
of the school to give the stu-dents
a valid reason why we do
have certain other things and why
we are compelled to do one thing
and not another. Then after the
student gets this information, he
can work from there to determine
whether he is in accordance with
this or not.
WILKINS: I think that we
ought to realize that these policies
are not going to be changed by
the student association per se; but
we do have the opportunity to
bring to the administration our
feelings on these issues, and why
we feel this way. I think this is
very important — that they real-ize
more than ever why the NP
student wishes to dance on campus,
why he wishes to smoke on cam-pus,
and I think they come up
against these objectively.
They don't think of the church
right off the bat, I don't think.
Of course, they are limited be-cause
of financial aid and so forth.
But they still consider the student
and the SA in these policy changes.
BENSON: Would you care to
comment on the phrase, "If you
don't like it here, you can go some-where
else." It seems that this
might be a pretty sensible solution
to the whole thing, and you can go
somewhere else if you don't like it
here. What do you think about this
attitude?
WILKINS: First of all, it's
small, but it's an awfully easy
way to end an argument, and I
think that this is why it is used
so much — because people can't
think of anything to refute an
argument. But it isn't any argu-ment
actually.
Rather than refute a person with
this statement, I think a lot more
can be done just by sitting down
with a person and asking him what
he does like around here. I realise
that any student who's been here
for more than a year realizes that
there's something going for him.
It might be academics, it might be
sports, it might be religion, but
there is some faction in the school
which pleases the person or else
he wouldn't stay here, and he
wouldn't have to hang around and
listen to this "If you don't like it
here, you can go somewhere else."
PALMER: I think that anybody
who goes around saying something
like this has something of a de-featist
attitude to start with. With
respect to student government, if a
person says that if student govern-ment
can't accomplish it, go some-where
else, I think he doesn't have
any faith in student government.
Not only that, but he doesn't have
any faith in the institution as such.
I think that any student that
has made the choice to come to a
school realizes that there are cer-tain
restrictions anti rules and
policies that he is going to have to
live under; certain situations that
he has to cope with and I think
that as long as he has made the
decision to come to the school, it
is his obligation to help the school
and not to just say, "I am going
to leave this situation because I
can't cope with it and I don't like
it." He should try to clarify it,
help it, and do whatever he can to
try his hand in solving the situa-tion,
rather than just turn his tail
end on it and go someplace else.
Apathy
BENSON: Nue, we are discuss-ing
here the critical student. What
about the apathetic student? I
mentioned him before and what I
am wondering is, what's wrong with
being apathetic?
PALMER: I think one reason
why people might have apathetic
feelings about student government
is that it doesn't touch them. It is
our desire to try to reach out to
as many as we possibly can and let
them feel that they are part of the
whole student process. I feel that
a person who is apathetic is also
shirking his obligation to others if
he runs around saying, "I don't
care" and all that stuff. He should
care. He has an obligation to
other people. If not, he should
try to help other people. Some-times
one can present himself in
such a way that he can't get any-thing
and this promotes some kinds
of apathy and sometimes apathy
smacks of irresponsibility.
WILKINS: Since the person is
removed from the situation, he
most likely feels that only the "im-portant"
person would be inter-ested
in student government, and
he would take on this apathetic out-look.
But because this person has-n't
actually been reached and no
one has tried to communicate with
him, this is where apathy seems
that it's being down on yourself,
realizing that no one has actually
bothered to ask you — what you
actually think, what do you like
most about this school. Since no
one cares, it seems to them, why
should they care what anyone else
is doing and this feeling of apathy'
comes on pretty strong. I don't
think that there's a large group
that centers on apathy at all. It's
a personal feeling that may catch
on to two or three other people: I
still think it stems from the in-dividual
feeling that he's neglected.
BENSON: (Inc more question.
I would like you to give me an as-sessment
of the role of the presi-dent
of the student body? Just
how do you conceive of the function
of this individual on campus?

SA Election
WILKINS: The president, I
think, has to view the entire situa-tion
and realize the different feel-ings
on campus and off. He has
to take into consideration what
feel that it is %cry important
that the people of these different
beliefs and denominations get a
chance to express their views and
interact with other people of other
faiths and circumstances."
students feel, and he has to maneu-ver
his program or his platform
to meet the desires of the many
different people on campus. But
once he's in office, the president be-comes
more of a kicker and a
pusher than anything. His wants
and desires are going to be the
foundation for the work that the
SA does. But once he's voiced these
opinions. I think the president
should step back just a little and
listen to a few other people and let
them build him. Then after they-
've built, he should get back into
things and start pushing people to
get things done.
PALMER: I think in our set-up
here, it is important that the presi-dent
of the SA take on the com-plexion
of the moderator or coor-dinator
of ideas and experiences.
It is his job to know how to chal-lenge
and channel different ideas,
different drives that people have
and experiences so that they may
be meaningful, not only for one
person, but more than one person.
Of course, he is also the repre-sentative
of the student body wher-ever
he goes. Of course, he must
maintain a certain image. This
is what other people will see. He
has the job of selling the school
when he gets out. It is important
that he has faith in the school,
faith in the student government,
because if he doesn't, while I'm
not going to say that it is bad,
other people would think that we
are apathetic and I think this is
important — to he a good salesman
for the school, because we do has,

variety of periodicals for the lounge; and act on student suggestions
for improvement of the Center's facilities.
ATHLETIC EVENTS: The need for spirit is important throughout
the year to give support to North Park's athletic program. Therefore,
we intend to expand the budget of the commission to include transporta-tion
for other sports besides football.
We believe that more enthusiasm would be shown in the intramural
program if it was organized on a sectional basis in each dorm. In each
section an A and a B team would give more a chance to participate.
SOCIAL SERVICES: We want to make students more aware of
openings on the North River Commission. This commission has the
potential for greatly improv ing rapport with young people in our
area who are not connected with the College. The North River Com-mission
provides the possible juvenile delinquent with a friend, an
outlet for his emotional turmoil. The student is a source of friend-ship
and understanding which the youth often lacks at home and
among his peers.
We would also like to revitalize the tutoring programs which
have lost support. This service helps to bring the name and meaning
of North Park to the community.
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS: We propose to present the possibility of a
"pass-fail" program to the faculty and administration. This would allow
seniors with a designated GPA to take a course in their major field for
credit but not for a grade. The student would either pass or fail the
course — no letter grade would be given. The object of the "pass-fail"
plan is to enable students to learn because they want to learn, not be-cause
they must learn.
RELIGIOUS LIFE: Christianity is what makes our school unique.
The function of North Park as a Christian college is to help the student
understand his role as a Christian in the world. This understanding is
to be communicated partly through the chapel program.
There have been many complaints about the chapel program this
year. We believe that students desire chapel to be more than just a re-quirement.
We have organized a committee designed to bring the problem
of chapel to representatives from a cross-section of the school. By review-ing
the opinions of these representatives, the committee will perhaps be
able to determine what, if anything, can be done to improve chapel.
An idea we propose is to move the chapel program back to North
Park church. 'the service would be extended until 10 a.m, to give
the chaplain an opportunity to plan a more inspirational service. The
school would be divided into two sections, one to meet on Wednesday
and the other to meet on Friday. We believe that the meaningful
unity of half the College worshiping in a church is better than the
unnoticeable unity of the whole College worshiping in a gym.
We also propose that more money be allotted to the chaplain's fund
to provide for a variety of guest speakers in chapel.
The means to our end of active student government depends upon
you. Our ideas require people to carry them out, people who are deter-mined
to make student government mean more than just 17 letters.

NP Associates
Are Honored
Two North Park alumni and one
present senior in the College have
been honored in recent scholarship
and fellowship competitions.
Mr. Roger N. Pohl, a 1964 gradu-ate
of the College, has been
awarded a Rockefeller Brothers
Theological Fellowship.
This is an all-expense fellowship
for one year, during which the Fel-low
seeks to determine whether
the ministry should be his lifetime
vocation. Fellows may study at
any seminary which is accredited
by the American Association of
Theological Schools. About 70 fel-lowships
are awarded each year.
Pohl has decided to utilize his
fellowship at Yale Divinity School.
Mr. John S. Benson, a 1965
graduate of the College and a pres-ent
student in the Seminary, has
been awarded a full-tuition schol-arship
for next year by Yale Di-vinity
School.
Mr. Karl F. Olsson, a senior in
the College, was selected for hon-orable
mention in the annual Wood-row
Wilson Fellowship program.
Olsson was one of five North Park
nominees in the Wilson competi-tion.

(4) That coed contests be scheduled in volleyball and softi
(5) That there is a need for better publicity of schedules and
an improvement of the referee situation in the present intramural
program.
SOCIAL ACTIVITIES — We feel that the SEC has done a good
job in organizing and planning social life on our campus. In light of
our expanding facilities, new responsibilities will be added and some
improvements will have to be made in the total program. We suggest:
(1) Full use and intelligent scheduling of the new auditorium in
the Science-Learning Center when completed.
(2) An increase in the number of class and inter-class-spon-sored
events.
(3) More complete publicity about the cultural opportunities
provided in the city. In conjunction with this, the Fine Arts Com-mission
should publish the many student discount opportunities
available at many spots around town.
(1) That during Freshman Week, upperclassmen come back
early to lead groups of seven to ten freshmen in discussions and
trips around the city in an effort to make them feel more personally
welcomed, and at home in their new surroundings.
SOCIAL SERVICES — North Park students have begun to realize
the satisfaction that comes from helping others. While helping others
with their problems, we ourselves grow and mature, broadening the total
scope of our lives. We aim to provide as many opportunities for activity
of this type as possible through:
(I) Exposing as many students to the opportunity for service
which the North River Commission project affords and encouraging
students to become "Big Brothers and Sisters."
(2) More participation in the Wicker Park, Douglas Park and
Chicago l'arental Home programs.
SPECIAL AREAS OF CONCERN
(1) SMOKING AND DANCING — Currently the Student Senate
has taken action on these two issues by sending them to the Committee
on Dancing, composed of students, faculty, administration and Board
members. We feel that the next step is to approach the Board of Direc-tors
for a definitive statement on the present regulations.
(2) STUDENT BOOK EXCHANGE -- We realize that the College
book store policy does not permit the resale of used books at a reasona-ble
profit to the student. We will set up a student-run book exchange
at which the student may set the sale price of his books. The exchange
would most likely operate during the first week of each term.
(3) RADIO STATION — The new Student Union has a room
set aside for radio use. We will investigate the possibility of working in
conjunction with the speech department to get WNPC going again.
The speech department has already obtained a frequency on the edu-cational
band and is very interested in getting student cooperation to
put the station in operation.

Showing Is Anticipated
Of South African Film
The CBS production of "Apar-theid"
will be shown at NPC Fri-day
evening, April 29, and Sun-day
afternoon, May 1, under the
sponsorship of the International
Relations Commission.
IRC chairman Ed Cucci urges
all North Parkers to see this awak-ening
film on South Africa's seg-regation
policies. Said Cued, "The
mistreatment and savage action
by men against their brothers is
still a common problem with us
today in nations which profess
Christianity as the answer to life's
p roblems."
One-Act Play
Ably Performed
Last Thursday afternoon the
North Park Players, under the di-rection
of Jim Peterson, premiered
their one-act message-comedy, Be
Myself, at the Gerald Wood Chi-cago
Boys' Club. The comedy is
beamed to the interests of the spe-cial
juvenile audience. According
to Peterson, "these children were-n't
raised on Raggedy Ann and
Andy. They know a world of ear-aches
and open fire hydrants."
The original comedy deals with a
young boy's difficulty in being him-self.
Mickey Benson plays the
lead in a cast that includes Peg
Almquist, Dale Tremper, John Gay,
Hedges MacDonald, Jim Peterson
and Don Bunce.
The group's next performance of
this play will be at the Chicago
Parental Home. Says Peterson,
"The only repayment we need is
the smile on those kiddies' faces."

Better late than nes er . . the News proudly present. the 1966 NP IM
basketball champs — MOC — these serene-looking bombers are from both
the winning A and B squads.
Vikings Pitch, Hit Hard
Lake Forest
They say pitching is 80-85 per
cent of the game ... and as far as
the North Park baseball team is
concerned "there is no doubt about
it." After having their original
starting date postponed by in-clement
weather the Viking nine
opened its 1966 campaign on Mon-day,
April 11, in strong fashion
with a double-header sweep at
Lake Forest. On the strength of
two one-hitters twirled at the For-esters
by Bernie Greene and Rich
Mahoney, the Vikings prevailed
handily, 5-1 and 2-1.
In the opener the hard-throwing
Greene had the old strikeout pitch
going for him as he whipped third
strikes by 16 of the 30 batters he
faced. The senior right-hander was
followed in the second game by
Rich Mahoney, normally a short-stop,
who also limited Lake Forest
to just one hit. During his tour of
duty, he struck out nine.
The Norsemen's offensive punch
was supplied by center-fielder
George Seibel (two hits, one RBI).
catcher Bob Biddle (two hits, two
RBI's), Greene and Mahoney. Bid-dle,
the team captain who is start-ing
his fourth year as the number-one
receiver, also dazzled the fans
with his prowess on the basepaths
as he stole successfully on three oc-casions.
Northwestern
On Wednesday, April 13, the
hard-hitting Vikings went big time
as they took on the Northwestern
Wildcats of the Big Ten Confer-ence.
Behind the strong stick work
of nearly every member the Vi-kings
battled NU to a nine-inning
5-5 stalemate. Action was sus-pended
at that point on account of
darkness, but the Vikings had
played quite a ball game. Forced
to catch up in the early innings,
North Park fought back to take a
lead that lasted until the eighth
frame when the hosts tied it up. As
they had done all afternoon, how-ever,
the Vikings failed to wilt as
Dale Peterson punched a single to
right to knock in Bernie Greene
and give the Vikings a 5-4 lead.
Two questionable calls in the bot-tom
half of the ninth nullified the
chance for victory as the Wildcats
evened the score.
Right-hander Art Benke went
the full distance for North Park
in an encouraging performance.
Several times wildness proved his
undoing, but on other occasions he
was tough to beat. His presence
could and must help the thin Vi-king
mound corps. Southpaw Rich
Fattes should return to action be-fore
the CCI campaign gets under
way on April 23 (at home against
Carroll).
A much-improved hitting ball
club, the Vikings' power was sup-plied
in near-equal fashion as seven
of the starters collected hits.
Outfielders Bill Comstock and
John Papandrea lead the way with
two hits while Peterson, Greene,
Biddle and Warden struck deci-sive
blows.
There is little doubt that this
club can hit and more importantly,
win, but the success still hangs on
the pitching and defense. With
time the defense should become
more polished, but once again
Coach Greene is faced with a slim,
but ready, pitching crew.

NP Golf Team
Has Problems
Victimized by a lack of sufficient
practice time due to miserable
weather conditions, the North Park
Golf Team had definite problems in
its opening two matches. A young
team with only two returning let-termen,
the Viking linksmen
showed considerable improvement
in a 12-6 setback against Circle
Campus last Thursday after a woe-ful
opener against North Central.
However, continued improvement
can be expected as (if) the weather
becomes more conducive to spring
activities. The basis for this opti-mism
stems from the fact that
there was a team improvement of
36 strokes in the two days between
those initial matches. As of now,
Glen Nelson appears to be the most
steady member on a squad com-posed
of one senior, three sopho-mores
and two rookies.

NP Slammed by Augie;
'Things 're Looking Up'
The North Park tennis team lost
its first match of the year to de-fending
CCI champion Augustana,
9-0. All North Park players were
eliminated in two sets as Augie
gave strong evidence that they once
again are the team to beat in the
conference.
The loss, however, occurred only
three days after tennis practice for
our Vikings had begun. This is
not to make excuses, but Augie's
Vikings had had a three-week
warmup before this so-called clash.
Two Mondays ago in a scrim-mage
with ITC, our Vikings im-proved
greatly. Since then they
have beaten North Central 5-4, and
lost in a tri-meet with Carroll and
Lake Forest 7-2, 7-2. Johnson,
Margoni, Erickson and Almquist
won for North Park. At the pres-ent
time, the general feeling is,
Dennis "Rat" Margoni glibly
stated, "Things are looking up."
What more could we ask for?

Time Out
Alas, poor brethren, I am back (at least I hope I am) to haunt yed
from the cozy confines of the last page. Who knows, but perhaps that
bit of April 1 prophecy may have held great truths.
Once again, as the case seems to be every year at this time, tho
spring sports program is beset by various problems. Among these a,.
adverse weather conditions, short but demanding schedules and a gen-eral
slackening in spectator interest. The latter point, I believe, stein.
from a difficult problem of giving sufficient publicity and intention to the
various teams involved. It will be the aim of this page to remedy, ii
possible, this condition in the coming weeks.
Delving into the problem a little bit further, one is able to note
these aspects that lend themselves to the "great spring letdown." Do.•
to the fact that present conditions prohibit home track meets to be
held at North Park, the team is forced to the road for all its com-petition.
This lack of a suitable track also limits the squad greatl)
in practice. Times and performances could well be improved in the
future if an indoor season were added.
Baseball and tennis fortunes fare much better in so far as both ha)
suitable and accessible practice and home sites. The North Park dia-mond,
however, leaves much to be desired as far as the infield is con-cerned.
An addition of clay and dirt would certainly help for a be-ginner.
Sand is for the beach! The proximity of Illinois Teachers'
North offers North Park tennis the use of six good full courts that ena-bles
meets to be run off at a quicker and more efficient pace. The preset:,
college courts are excellent but, due to the size, become highly ove -
crowded and overused. Golf aspirants face hardships that go hand-ie
hand with the sport itself, but have received overdue assistance from the
department.
This by no means is solely a crying session or a general gripe.::
for athletics, hut an attempt to acquaint the observer with the situa-tion
as it exists and some of the factors behind it. I'm tired of has
ing to say that this is not an excuse for losing, but I will say it
again if I must.
The spring places the greatest obstacle and challenge before the
athlete and coach. Don't sell them short with no support.
